Implementation of Simulation Technologies to Design in Printing

抄録

Simulation of printing processes involves modeling of complex processes and materials. It has to be accurate and provide results in a timely fashion. Detailed modeling of printer components and the target of modeling entire printing process are discussed. Technalysis modeling activities towards this goal is summarized. Several case studies are presented describing approaches taken. Development of continuum, particle models, their coupling and analysis of the overall system are emphasized. Close cooperation between test and simulation is referenced both for determining material properties and for validating simulation models. Testing and simulation have to be used concurrently to reduce time to design and improve quality. Recent activities have been centered around strong coupling of particle and flow problems.
