BeamTool v.10.1.1.50

Description

BeamTool v.10.1.1.50 

With the release of BeamTool10, the industry-leading UT technology development software BeamTool will continue to be developed and improved. Successful inspection starts from the plan, and BeamTool can easily model, validate, and record phased array, TOFD, and conventional ultrasound inspection plans.
 
New work types
BeamTool has added two new workpiece templates, one lap joint and one nozzle welding. The overlap joint has the same configuration as the plate, as well as control of overlap and welding configurations. The nozzle is two-dimensional, but can switch between 0 and 90 degrees, representing the minimum and maximum deflection in the weld profile.
 
Advanced FMC/TFM Focus Quality Map
 
Built in simulation
When upgrading or purchasing BeamTool10, simulation features that were previously separated from BeamTool are now included! Very suitable as a training aid or to generate training materials and convey principles.
 
New Report Editing
The report editor has been rebuilt to make it easier to configure report content. More options have also been added, including 3D views, drawing sets, and calibration blocks. The templates provided in previous versions and user designed templates can still be used.
 
Angle measuring device
With the Angle Checker enabled, hover the mouse over the intersection line and the angle will be displayed on the workspace.
 
Automatic calibration block
The standard calibration block function now supports automatic calibration blocks for curved parts. Selecting this option will create test blocks that comply with ASME standards based on the specified thickness, adding notches and SDH. You can further modify to meet your specific needs.
 
Square hat
Now the weld can be configured as a square cap to simulate the removal of ERW welds from upset materials.
 
embrasure  
A wedge gap diagram can be generated, which will display the size of any gap between the wedge and the workpiece caused by profile mismatch.
 
New beam energy map
The beamset beamforming energy map has been updated and optimized to more accurately display the maximum possible transmission energy.
 
Bending calibration block and vertical hole
Now, the standard calibration block designer included with BeamTool10 supports pipeline or curve calibration blocks. Adding notches on the circumferential plane will take into account curvature. Generate drawings that can be provided to the machine workshop. Now, both planar and curved calibration blocks support vertical FBH and through holes.
 
FMC beamset validation
BeamTool can help you choose the appropriate rendering area for FMC inspection by drawing quality maps (currently only applicable to contact FMC inspection), which roughly quantify the resolution and image intensity of reflectors positioned relative to the probe aperture. This map roughly quantifies the focusing quality of each pixel in the selected rendering area by calculating the effective "numerical aperture" (defined as the sine of half the angle between the first and last beams covering the pixel).
 
The concept of numerical aperture comes from a microscope, representing the angle coverage range of the focal point. A lower numerical aperture value means that energy is not effectively focused on a specific point, resulting in low resolution and low image intensity, while a higher numerical aperture value means that energy is highly focused, resulting in high resolution and high image intensity.
