Simulation data for input into WP 4

Summary
The efficiency of microstructure replication on thermoplastic parts via IM will be modelled. It will require inputs from the injection moulding process and the part metrology. The software to be developed53 will simulate the replication efficiency of the microstructures on the polymer part surface, taking into account the part geometry, the polymer material behavior and the IM process parameters.The resulting demonstrator is expected to serve as a production assistant-tool enabling one to control the process parameters and the resulting part quality, while facilitating the manufacturing of such functional parts.
