a container design process . the process involves receiving container design specifications , receiving readings from a first scan of a container taken before the container has been exposed to expected conditions of use , receiving readings from a second scan of the container taken after the container has been exposed to the expected conditions of use , applying finite element analysis to the container using measurements obtained by comparing the first scan and the second scan , and recommending design changes that will enable the container to meet the container design specifications based on the finite element analysis .
