A brief introduction of polymer processing industryA brief introduction of polymer processing industry
The polymer processing industry can be subdivided in four major sectors :
Semi-finite materials manufacturers (plate, sheet, tube, …) Packing products producers Basic plastic part producers High technical plastic part producers

It’s important to have in mind that most of polymer processing enterprises are Small and Medium-sized Enterprises.

A brief introduction of polymer processing industryA brief introduction of polymer processing industry
Today, good health enterprises are innovative enterprises. They must be able to develop high technical products. In details, they :
Must be able to design complex plastic parts with a lot of number of functionalities (multiple parts products, decorated parts, …)
Must follow directives of quality norms, and so on.
We observe that SMEs must develop today their own R&D activities and must produce their own products to keep profit margins.

Why grid computing can help SMEs ?Why grid computing can help SMEs ?
First of all,
The simulation of polymer moulding processes are complex problems (fluid dynamic problems coupled to thermal problems).
The design of plastic part requires, in general, a large number of simulations (15-20). For example, a 3D polymer injection moulding simulation needs :
Most of SMEs can not invest in expensive high computing equipments (cluster, software licenses, and so on…)
CPU time consumption is approximately 3 days per simulation (with a single workstation) Volume of results per simulation is approximately 4 Go.

Why grid computing can help SMEs ?Why grid computing can help SMEs ?
Computational grids can offer relevant services for SMEs :
By definition, grid technology have been developed to solve large problems. In this way, grid can offer large computing power.
Grid allows too the storage of large amount of data The computing power can be delivered on demand. Pricing mechanisms can be based on resources usage (Business on
demand) and so on.

OPENPLAST : a computational grid for French polymer processing industry
OPENPLAST is a French R&D program granted by the French ministry of industry. The OPENPLAST kick-off meeting was planed the last year in October.
OPENPLAST consortium includes six French partners
The goal of this project is to develop and to deploy an industrial grid for French polymer processing industry. It consists in providing computational services to SMEs.

OPENPLAST : a computational grid for French polymer processing industry
Hardware Infrastructure Working nodes will be MPI clusters to perform parallel computing Storage elements will be data servers
Software infracstructure : middleware is based on Globus middleware (web services)
Applications hosted on the OPENPLAST grid will be a set of softwares to perform 3D polymer injection moulding simulation (CAD, Meshing software, 3D Polymer Injection solver, graphical post-processing software, …)
The computational services will be provided to SMEs through grid portals

PerspectivesPerspectives
PEP has got European Partners (VTT in Finland, AIMPLAS in Spain, …) involved in EuroVIPP European project. EuroVIPP acronym means European Virtual Institute for Polymer Processing. The goal of this institute is to provide technological informations to European polymer processing Enterprises and to encourage B2B relationships. A we portal is developing today to deliver EuroVIPP services.
PEP and his European partners are motivated in a near future to extend OPENPLAST initiative to Europe to support European SMEs in their R&D activities.
