We plan to <span class=\"g-color2\">deliver<\/span> it to customers under maintenance <span class=\"g-color2\">in November<\/span>. It comes with numerous new capabilities including: <span class=\"g-color3\"><strong>revolutionized<\/strong> <\/span><strong><span class=\"g-color3\">Parametric and POD studies<\/span> <\/strong>thanks to <span class=\"g-color3\"><strong>metamodels<\/strong><\/span>, a new <span class=\"g-color3\"><strong>UT probe library<\/strong><\/span>, enhanced <span class=\"g-color3\"><strong>TFM<\/strong><\/span> tools, new powerful UT analysis tools<strong>, <span class=\"g-color3\">Pulsed Eddy Current<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"g-color3\">, <strong>SART<\/strong><\/span> reconstruction in CT and much more.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s describe them in more detail:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em><span class=\"g-color3\">Parametric or POD studies:<\/span> <\/em><\/strong>A new approach is proposed to run parametric or POD studies. Based on a first set of computations,<span class=\"g-color3\"> <strong>metamodels<\/strong><\/span> (i.e. \u00ab\u00a0model of the models\u00a0\u00bb) can be calculated. From this database, numerous sets of new results can be predicted and are given to the user in <span class=\"g-color2\">real time<\/span>! In addition to Meta models, POD and parametric studies will also be more powerful thanks to <span class=\"g-color2\">new analysis tools and more advanced options<\/span>.<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"g-color3\"><strong><em>UT probes library<\/em><\/strong>:<\/span> Numerous probes from GE and Olympus catalogues will be available as a built-in library within <span class=\"g-color1\">CIVA UT<\/span> to ease and secure the definition of input data. Tools for IMASONIC probe definition are also coming.<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"g-color3\"><strong><em>Enhanced Total Focusing Method tools<\/em><\/strong>:<\/span> The TFM method becomes more widely used now as it demonstrates good efficiency for many applications. More simulation capabilities in TFM are provided in this <span class=\"g-color1\">CIVA <\/span>release. We can mention\u00a0a few: Possibilities to program TFM reconstruction before running the simulation, making TFM computation fully compatible with parametric and batch computations, more tools to analyse TFM images, Plane Wave Imaging TFM (PWI-TFM) , Adaptive TFM (ATFM),\u2026.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"g-color3\"><strong><em>Embedded FEM<\/em><\/strong>:<\/span> For some applications with planar defects, a new embedded 2D and 3D FEM code is implemented in<span class=\"g-color1\"> CIVA <\/span>to address defect response computations. Even if it is more time consuming, it can be useful when you are out of the validity limit of semi-analytical models (small defect, critical angles, etc.). The coupling of <span class=\"g-color1\">CIVA UT<\/span> with <span class=\"g-color1\">CIVA ATHENA2D<\/span> will still be available and relevant for many applications.<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"g-color3\"><strong><em>PEC<\/em><\/strong><\/span>: Pulsed Eddy Current will be now available in<span class=\"g-color1\"> CIVA ET<\/span>. Instead of exciting the probe with a harmonic sinusoidal signal, a pulse is generated (various waveforms available). The analysis of the magnetic response of the component is used for the inspection in different types of applications, for instance Pipe wall thickness measurement or buried layers inspection in aerospace fastened structures.<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"g-color3\"><strong><em>SART\u00a0and new trajectories available in CT<\/em><\/strong><\/span>: It is sometimes efficient or compulsory (due to constraints) to perform CT acquisitions with other trajectories than classical ones (circular or helical). It is now possible to import complex and robotic trajectories in CIVA CT simulations. Associated with this, a <span class=\"g-color2\">new reconstruction algorithm<\/span>, called SART, is now available.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"g-color2\">Numerous other features<\/span> come with <span class=\"g-color1\">CIVA 2017<\/span>, such as new capabilities for 3D-CAD specimen echo computations, new tools to help weld and nozzle inspection simulations and the ability to define robotic scanning patterns in UT as well as capabilities to simulate probes with U ferrite yoke in ET.<span class=\"g-color2\"> Important performance improvements<\/span> will also be noticed for CT simulations. New features are included in the UT analysis tools (lateral wave linearization, optimized segmentation, full automation capabilities with templates, compatibility with Gekko acquisitions with Rotated Arms and Nozzle inspections, <span class=\"g-color2\">Plug-In capabilities<\/span> to apply specific analysis procedure and report on any data acquisition format).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>More details will be given in the release notes when the version is ready for distribution.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The EXTENDE team<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The CIVA 2017 version has now reached the final stages of development &amp; testing before its release.
