Reasons for FEA:

Investigate the displacements in the Secondary Foil
occur by a difference-pressure between the secundair- and primair vacuum.

CALCULATION 1: TOBLERONE TOP FOIL 10 mBar pressure difference

    The thickness of the foil is not constant,
    due to the plastic deformation during forming.
    See picture for used shell thickness at some regions.
    Starting thickness = 0.3mm

    Primary Pressure > Seconday Pressure
    Max deflection
    0.88 mm

    Secondary Pressure > Primary Pressure
    Max deflection
    1.04 mm

CALCULATION 2: Secondary Vacuum Foil - 2 mBar pressure difference

    The thickness of the foil is not constant,
    due to the plastic deformation during forming.
    See picture for used shell thickness at some regions.
