Image analysis methods provide full-field test data that can be used to validate and improve your simulation. Using the unique method of “Model-Based testing”, EikoTwin DIC allows to measure displacements and strains of the observed parts directly on the simulation mesh. Thus, you will be able to measure all kind of loadings applied on all types of mechanical structures. The measurements obtained on EikoTwin DIC are calculated on your simulation mesh. Therefore, that allows you to easily compare your test data to your computation. Various features help you in the process of validation: importation of simulation results, creation of virtual sensors, export of results in various formats, calibration based directly on the model, 3D model window, etc…
