With the Volume Graphics product family, all kinds of analyses and visualizations can be carried out directly on data from industrial computed tomography (CT).
Volume Graphics introduces version 3.3.3 of its product family for the analysis and visualization of industrial computed tomography (CT) data – consisting of VGSTUDIO MAX, VGSTUDIO, VGMETROLOGY, VGinLINE, and myVGL. Version 3.3.3 boasts, among other things, the option to import, compensate, and export specific points in the Manufacturing Geometry Correction Module, the ability to set additional target parameters for mesh optimization when creating volume meshes, and—also in the Volume Meshing Module—the option to use regions of interest (ROIs) to define entity sets for boundary conditions directly on CT data.
The Manufacturing Geometry Correction Module now lets you import, compensate, and export specific points. By using specific points instead of arbitrary fit points, you can automatically update parametric constructions in CAD systems based on these specific points.
When creating volume meshes, you can now set additional target parameters for mesh optimization, allowing you to control and improve the mesh quality according to specific element quality requirements. This allows you to optimize the tetrahedron quality based on certain element quality criteria when creating high-quality tetrahedral meshes. You can choose one or more of the following criteria: max./min. edge aspect, edge/height aspect, collapse, stretch, shape factor, smallest face corner angle, largest face corner angle, and min. edge size.
When creating volume meshes, you can now use regions of interest (ROIs) to define entity sets for boundary conditions directly on CT data. This ensures a high degree of geometrical accuracy and reduces possible loss of geometrical information when it is exported to third-party FEM simulation software where load, fixations, or contact can be applied to the defined regions. By relying on the comfortable and familiar ROI tool of VGSTUDIO MAX, you can count on an efficient workflow.
