IPA Roller Compaction Synthetic Dataset Generator v1.0
========================================================
Generates a physically plausible synthetic dataset based on:
  - Johanson rolling theory (Johanson, 1965) for nip angle & pressure
  - Heckel equation for powder densification under pressure
  - Empirical twin-feed-screw effect on ribbon uniformity

THIS IS SYNTHETIC EDUCATIONAL DATA. NOT REAL CUSTOMER OR LAB DATA.
Generated by Innovative Process Applications (IPA) for teaching DOE/RSM.
