Porosity/Inclusion Analysis with VGStudioMax

Porosity/Inclusion Analysis with VGStudioMax
             
              Discover what’s below the surface of your scanned parts. The porosity/inclusion analysis features in Volume Graphics software enable you to detect, characterize, and visualize porosity and inclusions in three dimensions using non-destructive testing (NDT).
 

Porosity/Inclusion Analysis Features

Locate pores, holes, and inclusions within parts and get detailed information on these discontinuities: 
  • Detect, characterize, and visualize porosity in 2D and 3D using computed tomography.
  • Distinguish between gas pores, shrinkage cavities, cracks, and inclusions of foreign material.
  • Take wall thickness analyses and subsequent machining steps into account.
  • Automatically quantify the surface size of discontinuities in 2D CT slice images in accordance to BDG Reference Sheet P 201/P 202. (Extended Porosity/Inclusion Analysis Module)
  • Perform a 3D evaluation with regard to the most critical porosity parameters within functional areas of the part in accordance to BDG Reference Sheet P 203. (Extended Porosity/Inclusion Analysis Module)
  • Get results for later use in subsequent simulations.
  • Use data in statistical evaluation software such as Q-DAS qs-STAT.
 

Global Porosity Parameters

Determine these global porosity parameters for the entire component:
  • Total pore volume
  • Total material volume
  • Total porosity
  • Total surface of the pores
  • Projected total area of all pores in any spatial direction
