The numerical prediction of crystallization transformation is of great interest in several applications. One such application is the polymer-forming process. In this short communication, the integration of the widely used Nakamura kinetics is discussed. A robust time integration method is proposed. In order to overcome its singularities, the Nakamura function is thresholded. A convergence analysis provides guidelines for the threshold values and time discretization.
