Abstract

In this work, tools such as SolidWorks CAD, SolidWorks Simulation was used in the course of the design of a bottled water handle. This approach provided a less tedious process to its manual counterpart. Every progression of design was assessed and interpreted in detail in this paper. The primary goal of increasing the torsional rigidity and stiffness to be above 200 x 10 3 N-m/deg. was achieved from our computational Analysis; also, achieving a minimal weight of 0.0019kg for the test handle sample against 0.00206kg of the control handle sample obtained from India, never neglecting its ease to manufacture and ease of access. It is expected that the work will allow bottled water companies in Nigeria, who are notusing handles at the moment, to make appropriate decision on whether to seek the introduction of handles. It should also encourage bottled water companies to look inward and liaise with local plastic industries as regards to production of bottled water handles locally.
