8 http://www.bag.admin.ch http ://www.akts.com/sml.html computational physical f t Discretization Elements FEA is the application of the Finite Element Method. In it, the object or system is represented by a geometrically similar model consisting of multiple, linked, simplified representations of discrete regions i.e., finite elements. The analysis is therefore done by modelling an object into thousands of small pieces (finite elements). The finite elements are used for solving partial differential equations (PDE) approximately.

9 http://www.bag.admin.ch http ://www.akts.com/sml.html Finite Element Analysis is written as a set of communicating elements Organization of an object in a (virtual) mesh uniformregular Structured Grids: rectilinear Grid generation in time and in space ?

10 http://www.bag.admin.ch http ://www.akts.com/sml.html Considering one layer inside the packaging, it can be demonstrated that the mass of the layer which is taken for calculation of the diffusion of both migrant and simulant can be treated as an ‘infinite’ surface of thickness ‘d’ (i.e. ‘infinite’ in two directions and of wall thickness ‘d’ in the third). and => Fick’s 2 nd law of diffusion

11 http://www.bag.admin.ch http ://www.akts.com/sml.html Model assumptions the migration follows a diffusive process (Fick’s law) and is not controlled by other kinetic steps D = f (T) [Piringer’s model, Arrhenius relationship or customized equation] the equilibrium solubility of the migrant in the different layers of the structure and in the food is governed by the partition coefficients, K, between the layers of the multilayer structure and between the contact layer and food, respectively. the food is in intimate contact with all the package surfaces (no void space) the transfer of migrant at the interface material-food is rapid and the migrant is homogeneously distributed in the food. the transfer of migrant at the interface package-air is nil
