1 Main Packages are: CIVA: Developed and maintained by the CEA, this has become one of the most widely accepted Modeling systems with specific modules for UT, ET, and RT. AREVA has numerous licenses and is active in the CIVA users forum. IMAV: Developed by AREVA in collaboration with LUCID technologies, this package is optimized for scan coverage verification and qualification and Benefits Technique feasibility assessment without mockups or transducers Transducer design optimization without iterative prototype tests Visualization of sound path aids interpretation of observed signals Simulation can demonstrate critical flaw detectability throughout an inspection volume with very few reference mockups.

2 NDE simulations are accepted and even expected for complex geometry technique and SimulationInspection Design & QualificationAREVA NDE-SolutionsNDE Modeling software has demonstrated the value of analytical design optimization in lieu of iterative prototype and test strategies. AREVA s Modeling strength enables rapid development of probes and techniques to facilitate the qualification Nozzle inner-radius examination from ODCIVA UT Simulation of button-head internals bolt inspectionThe data and information contained herein are provided solely for illustration and informational purposes and create no legal obligations by AREVA.
