Version 3.4 Is Here

Volume Graphics introduces the next version of its product family for the analysis and visualization of industrial computed tomography (CT) data: Version 3.4 of VGSTUDIO MAX, VGSTUDIO, VGMETROLOGY, and VGinLINE. Among the innovations are a new Reverse Engineering Module, which converts CT scans into CAD models, a new visualization option for deviations of geometric tolerances, and subvoxel-accurate defect detection.

An overview of the major new features in version 3.4:

• Reverse Engineering Module to easily convert CT scans into CAD models for use in CAD systems with a new auto surface function.
• New visualization option for deviations of geometric tolerances to answer questions such as: Where exactly are the highest deviations located? How are the deviations distributed on a surface? Which areas of the surface were actually evaluated?
• Subvoxel-accurate defect detection with VGEasyPore to differentiate between gas pores and shrinkage cavities based on the sphericity and compactness of defects by capturing the shape of defects with subvoxel accuracy.
• Digital Volume Correlation Module to simply and intuitively quantify displacements between an initial and a deformed volume, e.g., from in-situ tensile tests.
• Stress tensor export to export stress fields calculated using the VGSTUDIO MAX Structural Mechanics Simulation Module, e.g., for fatigue analysis, by mapping the stress tensor components onto a volume mesh and exporting them in a .csv format.
• New, more intuitive Tool Dock that reduces the mouse travel needed to navigate to the next tool.
• Support of 4K displays for a crisper, sharper, and scalable graphical user interface of all applications on 4K displays.
• Parallel task processing by VGinLINE WORKER to significantly speed up throughput and remove downtime.
