Blog : What's new ?

Dear CIVA customers, the “Patch A” for CIVA 2015 is now available.

This patch fixes various bugs related to data analysis and modeling. You will find here a short list of what is new, depending on the module. Of course, in each technique, many other various bugs have been fixed.

You should have received recently from EXTENDE an emailing to inform you where to download this patch to upgrade CIVA 2015. Do not hesitate to contact us for more information if necessary.

We recommend you to install this patch as soon as you can, in order to benefit from all those improvements.

Talking about NDT, we noticed that some of the techniques we use are also applied in other unexpected areas.
One of them is for fishing!

Indeed, a tool exists: the Fishfinder. This sonar imaging system uses ultrasonic transducers to help fishermen to detect in real-time the fish beneath or to the side of your boat. Though the frequencies of the transducers are lower, it works like a giant pulse echo immersion system, only instead of trying to detect flaws, you are trying to detect fish! The Fishfinder will also provide you with the depth of water beneath your boat so you can steer towards deeper water if the water starts to get to shallow. Often the sonar technology is combined with GPS technology so that a map is provided of where you are and where you are going, including side streams, islands, etc. By combining sonar fish finding with GPS technology, it is possible to save the location of your favorite fishing holes and then easily navigate back to them later.
