ENHANCEMENTS

Advanced Feature: FLC/FLD Implementation

The latest implementation of FLC/FLD (Forming Limit Curve/Diagram) measurement and evaluation allows for ta comfortable processing of data and the construction of forming limit diagrams.

This feature is based on the latest engineering standards, ensuring accurate and reliable results. With these enhancements, you can efficiently analyze and visualize forming limits, improving your evaluation process and decision-making.

New Feature: Perspective Removal Mode

The perspective removal mode offers an innovative solution for adjusting measurements when out-of-plane movement occurs by utilizing the overlapping fields of view of two cameras. This method, which is less complex than the 3D VE method, effectively improves 2D measurements and boosts the capabilities of joint camera systems. Our software can significantly compensate for out-of-plane movement, enhancing the precision and efficiency of multicamera setups.

Bug Fixes / Minor Tweaks:

  • Fixed compatibility of exports with Auto Refresh in Result Reader
  • Disabled data seeker during computation in PP
  • Fixed possible nullable Retainable/Disposable problems (rare issues)
  • Added focal length and working distance to calibration overview
  • Changed Vector Multiplier option to arbitrary number selection
  • Changed vector color in 3D graph for consistency
  • Fixed synchronization of XIMEA cameras
  • Optimized vector rendering of DIC areas (+ various other minor display operations)
  • Unified relative timestamp in exported frame data and input data
  • Optimized probe data history storage (memory usage when computing Velocity, Acceleration, Poisson)
  • Block API commands when a wizard is open
  • Added timestamp to saved input data for Post-Process/Result Reader export
