*** General Introduction ***

This dataset contains the numerical models (COMSOL) and the dataset with experimental layer heights 
to reproduce the results in Chapter 2 of Jelle Snieder's PhD thesis project. It is being made public both 
to act as supplementary data for the PhD thesis of Jelle Snieder and in order for other researchers to use 
this data in their own work.

The results were published in:
Snieder, J., Dielen, M., & van Ostayen, R. A. J. (2022). Simulating the residual layer thickness in roll-to-plate
nanoimprinting with tensioned webs. Micromachines, 13(3), 461. URL: https://www.mdpi.com/1547700.

This research was made possible by the Topsector Energy Subsidy of the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs with 
project number TEHE119003.

*** Purpose of the files ***

The purpose of the numerical models is to simulate the elastohydrodynamic lubrication in roll-to-plate 
nanoimprinting with tensioned webs. The models can be used to simulate the film height and pressure profiles 
in the lubricated roller contact and to predict the final imprint layer height.
