SOFTWARE

The ARAMIS software perfectly supports the different applications of the ARAMIS system. The numerous functionalities allow for an optimized data acquisistion, evaluation and results visualization.

Data Acquisition
- Comfortable interface for different camera models
- Flexibel triggering of image aquisition (manual, time sequence, TTL signal or load signal from the experiment, ...)
- Import of images from external cameras
- Integrated data logger and trigger box
- Multiple measurement units can be triggered to grab images simultaneously or in sequence

Computation
- Fast correlation computation over all loading stages
- Automatic calculation of the 3D surface coordinates, 3D displacements and the plane strain tensor
- Calculation of stresses if the corresponding material data are known

Primitives
- Primitives (spheres, cylinders, cones, planes, lines, ...) can be generated from mesh data (certified by PTB and NIST)

Registration
- Elimination of the rigid body movement
- Registration of the captured data into predefined coordinate systems or into predefined geometrical elements (primitives)

Section Data
- Definition of sections on 3D measurement data
- Visualization of section data in diagrams

Graphical display and export of the data
- Result data overlay on captured images
- Result visualization of strain images, graphical diagrams, analog signals, ... in reports
- Result visualization in z-axis for easy comparison to FE-computation
- Statistic functionality and exports

Forming Limit Curve (FLC)
- Determination of forming limit curve based upon ISO 12004
- Time or section based evaluation
- Evaluation of complete measurement series

Automation
- Macro functionality for easy recording, editing and launching of repetitive steps in image acquisition, post processing and data evaluation

Hardware
- 64 bit PCs with Dual CPUs to minimise the measurement and calculation time
- Easily transportable ARAMIS system, based on a powerful notebook PC (with FireWire)
