Glass Container Forming Simulation

The real world is 3D and nearly all containers produced have an unsymmetrical thickness distribution, even through the mould shape is axis-symmetric. To reduce container weight or achieve increased product quality by simultaneously reducing costs, it is fundamental to understand all mechanisms in glass forming processes. In this presentation, the focus of attention is on glass forming, that means on the flow of the glass and for that reason, the blank mould and blow mould are replaced by approximate models.
