The study consists in modeling and simulation techniques of the sloshing phaenomenon when semi-filled bottles are manipulated in an industrial robotic cell environment. The preparation of the 3D model of the plastic bottle by simplifying the complex surfaces, in order to obtain simulation results as close as possible to reality, as well as the stopper design from a simple rectangular sketch, and the liquid definition inside the bottle were the first steps of the study. The proper choice of the material properties, model parametrization and mesh generation followed the attempt. A brief description of the analysis, the formulae used as theory background and the explicit dynamic simulation where the main targets of the research. The results were validated by experiments and personal conclusions were drawn.
