• A new parametric component for girth welds connected to an elbow is now available.
• A new parametric component for welds that includes better management of counterbore slopes is now available.
• Improvements in TFM features: New dynamic calculations of time of flights vs probe mechanical positions, management of limitations in T-Scan images.

CIVA UT Analysis

• CIVA UT Analysis is now compatible with acquisition data files in the new *.nde format issued by Evident Industrial (corresponding to a compatibility with MXU devices until release 5.14).
• Compatibility with the API of Capture 4.1.1 for EddyFi acquisition data files.
• Additional "Mechanical T-Scan" view of Capture software are now also available in CIVA UT Analysis.

CIVA GWT

• Possibility to define a solid inclusion in the Inspection Simulation module (in configurations managed by the 2D FEM beam / flaw interaction model).

CIVA TT

• CIVA TT now accounts for the thermal convection exchanges at the borders of the component.

CIVA ET

• Improvement of computation performances with complex geometries (managed by "FIT" model).

CIVA SHM

• Improvement of the corrosion / erosion flaw model (which is now able to represent an extended corrosion).

Our users with a valid maintenance contract will receive this update within the next few days.

The EXTENDE team.

The entire EXTENDE team is delighted Adam Pacalis has joined us at our headquarters in Massy. Adam graduated with a Master's degree in Materials Science and Engineering with a strong NDT focus, since it followed an undergraduate degree in NDT. Two internships, at Framatome and Arcelor Mittal, allowed him to consolidate his knowledge base in NDT.

It is always an important opportunity for a company like EXTENDE to welcome someone with a fresh perspective, who shakes things up, doubts and questions them, and thus makes an invaluable contribution to the improvement of processes and to the emergence of new innovations.

Adam will be working with our technical support and consulting teams, and will undoubtedly quickly become a CIVA trainer as well.
