Modes identification

In CIVA 11, a new tool facilitates the interpretation of the various echoes of a Bscan through mode and path identification. To use this tool, the “Identification mode” must be activated in the model. It is available in the “Option” tab under the “Simulation settings” panel.

To identify the simulated echoes on the Bscan or True Bscan, select them with the selection tool accessible in the data toolbox.

 

 

Once the tool is activated, the contour of the zone is drawn with successive clicks. To stop drawing the zone, double-click on the last point of the zone.

The modes and their relative contributions in the formation of the echoes in this zone are displayed as shown on the following image. The name of a mode refers to its path.

 

 

After activating this tool again, it is possible to draw multiple mode identification zones. A right-click on a zone allows the user to remove these zones (choice “Remove” or “Remove all”).
