Finite Element Analysis.
A series of simulation tests in Solidworks to evaluate my design, improve its efficiency and reduce its impact on external factors.
Drop Test on Outdoor Mug
The fallen cup hits the solid ground in the direction from which it falls. The results show that the cup has hardly any plastic damage, only slightly at the contact edge.

Assembly Compression Force
The force was applied to the top of the mug. The results show that the material does not fail and no deformation occurs.

Base Localised Force
A local force was applied to the side of the base. The results show that the material deforms, so ribs could be added to the piece to strengthen it.
