Software and Applications

ENTER

Data processing functionality

The ENTER module, which is the second standalone module, is dedicated to the post-processing of image recordings, possibly even from multiple cameras simultaneously.

A typical use for this module is the evaluation of high-speed recordings of dynamic tests or as an extension to the RT module for a possibility of reevaluation of previously recorded data and an addition of extra functionality and a higher number of probes. These advantages find their use in industrial applications for measuring special samples and materials, as well as in workplaces for research and development.

PLUS

Additional module with comprehensive functionality

The PLUS module serves as an extension to the RT and/or ENTER module. When applied with the RT module, the PLUS module extends the number of cameras which can be used at the same time and also the number of virtual extensometers and point probes. Furthermore, it enables the creation of a composite field of view from multiple cameras in which a measured point can pass from the view of one camera into the view of another. This module also contains advanced gauges with intelligent functionalities. This encompasses a detection of necking which enables the measurement of transverse elongation in the narrowest place, or a chain gauge ensuring the measurement of a sample alongside the breakage with a required value of L0, which is compatible even with long samples.

The PLUS module also brings expanded possibilities of calibration, such as the creation of the mathematical model of lens for the compensation of their optical distortion, the perspective in the field of view and the possibility of introducing a numerical offset to the measured plane in the direction towards or away from the camera. A typical use of the PLUS module is the extension of the RT module in industrial applications for an increase in the robustness of the system by using intelligent gauges and/or an improvement of the precision by using a set of multiple cameras.

The PLUS module also brings expanded possibilities of calibration, such as the creation of the mathematical model of lens for the compensation of their optical distortion, the perspective in the field of view and the possibility of introducing a numerical offset to the measured plane in the direction towards or away from the camera. A typical use of the PLUS module is the extension of the RT module in industrial applications for an increase in the robustness of the system by using intelligent gauges and/or an improvement of the precision by using a set of multiple cameras.

3D VIDEO

Additional module with stereoscopic functionality

Additional module with comprehensive functionality

The 3D module introduces the possibility of measuring 3D space in addition to the usual measurement of a 2D plane by joining cameras into stereo camera pairs. Such a system is capable of measuring surface deformations and displacements in three axes and is suitable for measuring samples of complex shapes as well as measuring of spatial deformations and movement of solids in the direction of the camera.

The capability of measuring 3D displacements and deformations is based on a very precise measurement of the 3D shape of the recorded area. The results of such measurements are even applicable for the validation of computations performed using FEM (Finite Element Method). The understanding of the measured data is also made simpler by their representation in the included spatial graph.

A typical use of the 3D module is to measure with a previously unknown direction of the deformation.

FULLFIELD

2D requires ENTER module / 3D requires ENTER + 3D VIDEO modules

Additional module for field deformation analysis

The FULLFIELD module makes it possible to maximize the predictability of every performed measurement. It allows the user to render the arrangement of the requested value through the entire examined area and hence detect local extremes, stress concentrations, the direction of the major strain or make it easier to detect outer influences such as a wrong fixation of the sample or deformations caused by thermal load.

By using the FULLFIELD module, the user is granted a powerful tool for the creation of reports and exporting videos about the process of measurement with a rendering of the deformation field of the measured object.

A typical use is the measurement of the character of the deformation field.

VIBROGRAPHY

2D requires ENTER module/3D requires ENTER + 3D VIDEO modules

Additional module with vibrographic functionality

The module aimed towards vibro-diagnostic measurements expands the possibilities of using high-speed cameras or a videostroboscopic effect for the examination of natural frequencies and operational deflection shapes of the tested parts or structures.

The module contains evaluation functions such as an FFT analysis, an octave analysis, the display of results in a Campbell diagram and also of values such as Peak to Peak, Crest Factor and Power Spectral Density.

A typical use is the measurement and visualization of modal and operational deflection shapes.

FormSYS

Additional module for sheet metal formability and bulge test analysis

FormSys module extends material testing capabilities by providing the Forming Limit Diagram (FLD) and the Forming Limit Curve (FLC) methods. These methods are used to assess stamped parts feasibility and formability in sheet forming.

The FormSys module contains a palette of functions for analyzing sheet metal forming by applying the optical method of digital image correlation (DIC).

FormSys includes a specialized tool for creating FLC limit curves, according to ISO12004.

Furthermore, it offers functions that can be used to analyze the biaxial yield strength in a hydrostatic bulge test - Bulge test according to ISO 16808.
