EikoTwin DIC

EikoTwin DIC is a digital image correlation (DIC) software program and system that links measurements and numerical simulations.

It uses a patented Digital Image Correlation technology to provide automatic test-simulation comparison.

 

It allows the efficient determination of model errors and the identification and resolution of error sources. EikoTwin is the only global FE-based digital image correlation software package built with simulation validation in mind.

Principle

  • Image processing (digital image correlation) based on the finite element mesh.
  • Automatic calibration around the mesh.
  • Multi-view (no technical limit to the number of cameras).

Features

  • Many directly accessible fields: displacements, strains, residual (at pixel scale) on the surface of the part.
  • Export of figures that can be used directly in your presentation.

Results

  • Virtual sensors (displacement, strain gauges).
  • Immediate test/simulation comparison based on finite element simulation results.

"Thermal" plug-in

  • This add-on to EikoTwin DIC bridges the gap between kinematic measurements and infrared thermography.
  • Image acquisition: Import infrared images directly into your digital model.
  • Correlate the results with your thermomechanical simulation.
Plugin Batch Digital Image Correlation, image aquisition for high speed imaging

"Batch mode" plug-in

  • This tool multiplies the power of EikoTwin DIC by allowing batch processing of image series.
  • Process all your measurements in a batch process and increase the value you get from EikoTwin DIC.

« EikoTwin DIC helps us to increase our understanding of material testing and structural testing. It allows for accelerating development and validation process of our solutions. »



Vincent Vilamosa

System engineer

"The EikoTwin field measurement solutions have provided us with abundant data, which we can use directly in our simulation references, thanks to the fact that they take into account our needs in terms of file formats.

In addition, we are working on recalibrating our simulations with respect to experimental data, considerably enriched by the use of digital image correlation, which reinforces our confidence in using these models for our structural analyses and designs."

Building simulation credibility: the validation of Ariane 6’s Dual Launch Structure

Image4

Ensuring the credibility of simulation models is a concern in all fields of engineering. In aerospace engineering, structural qualification is a crucial step in ensuring that critical components are capable of withstanding the most severe operational conditions. This process is essential to ensure the safety and reliability of systems during missions. This article focuses on…

Modal analysis: how can Digital Image Correlation (DIC) help?

Sensor

Modal analysis is a key technique used in engineering to understand the vibratory behavior of mechanical structures. It enables us to determine the natural frequencies and modal shapes of a structure, which are crucial in ensuring that it does not resonate dangerously under specific operating conditions. Traditionally, this analysis has relied on the use of…

Crash-test and image correlation: how to measure seat deformations and follow the dummy’s movements

Senza Titolo

Crash tests are crucial in developing and certifying products, especially for the automotive, aeronautical, and railway industries. These tests simulate collision or impact scenarios in order to evaluate the resistance and safety of products. Among the equipment used to perform these tests is the reverse catapult, which is a device that projects an object, in…

Digital Image Correlation (DIC) for vibration analysis

Image6

Digital Image Correlation (or DIC) is well-known for its static applications, but under the right circumstances, it is equally applicable to vibration testing. Here is an industrial example at Safran. As part of the development of increasingly high-performance aircraft actuators, Safran Landing Systems (SLS) must ensure the integrity of its systems during commissioning. With this…

How ArianeGroup improves simulation credibility with EikoTwin and DIC

&

Simulation credibility is a key aspect of the Virtual Testing concept. As the European leader in space launchers, Ariane Group participates with EikoSim in multiple Research and Development projects, including a RAPID R&D project (“MUTATION”) funded by the Direction Générale de l’Armement. This project aims at developing an industrial platform for test-simulation dialogue to meet…

Mechanical regularization in EikoTwin DIC

Champ Ref Eprouvette En

In EikoTwin DIC, the measurement of displacement fields is performed on the simulation mesh. However, as this mathematical problem is by nature ill-posed, a mechanical regularization parameter allows the user to add mechanical conditions to the field measurements. Contrary to most digital image correlation software, at EikoSim, we have chosen to use a mechanical “filter”….
