Blog : What's new ?

The entire EXTENDE team is very happy to welcome Daryl Ouédraogo to our headquarters in Massy. Daryl, an engineering graduate from ENSTA Paris, pursued doctoral studies at Southampton University (UK) with a specialization on aeroacoustics.

We once again seize the opportunity to welcome someone who brings a new outlook on things, who will challenge us, and thus bring a further push toward improvement and innovation among our team.

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

The Service Pack 2 of the current commercial release CIVA 2023 is being released! It includes the correction of several issues, but also interesting and significant new features, including :

CIVA UT

• You can now define a flexible wedge filled with water.
• 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.

Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about CIVA.
