Figure Lengend Snippet: Crystallinity evolution as obtained by Moldflow simulation and by UNISA experimental model simulation for samples obtained at 25 °C mold temperature. For the same test, temperature evolution calculated with Moldflow is shown. Crystallinity and temperature are calculated at 10 mm from the gate and 0.86 normalized distance (0 corresponds to midplane and 1 to cavity wall) from the sample midplane.
