CIVA 11

CIVA 11

  The realease of CIVA 11 is coming soon. Keeping up the progress started with CIVA 10 and building upon your feedback, CIVA 11 will bring major advances that provide many new simulation possibilities to the users. This version also includes architecture and model improvements, leading to both higher performances and more precise computations. Finally, many efforts have been done to make the software much more user-friendly. Don’t miss this new version which makes CIVA 11 even more of the ultimate tool for NDT simulation.

4L Trophy

4L Trophy

  In the frame of its commitment to encourage social initiative, EXTENDE supports a student team of the 4L Trophy, Remi Saez and Pierre Gaudeul studying Aeronautics Maintenance. This student adventure raid combines action, sharing and solidarity. This car competition will start in France and drive to Morocco. One of the goals of such a race is a solidarity initiative. In partnership with two associations, "Les enfants du desert" and "Le rire medecin", they will provide school bags (containing classroom materials) and backpacks (containing sports equipment). To know more about this competition, please visit the official website.We will inform you about our "team" success in our next newsletter and on our website. The real success should be human in any case!
 
CIVA tip: Smooth a C-Scan in CIVA ET

Smooth a C-Scan in CIVA ET

  How to increase the resolution a posteriori of a defect response result in CIVA Eddy Current? User might wish to smooth a simulated C-Scan. It can help to present the results in a more understanding way while limiting the number of calculation points and time. Of course, as smoothing is based on an interpolation of the available results, user has to pay attention to have enough points really calculated in order to avoid introducing artifacts in the smoothed C-scan. But...Read more
