The ARAMIS software perfectly supports the different applications of the ARAMIS system. The numerous functionalities allow for an optimized data acquisistion, evaluation and results visualization.
Data Acquisition
Comfortable interface for different camera models
Flexibel triggering of image aquisition (manual, time sequence, TTL signal or load signal from the experiment, ...)
Import of images from external cameras
Integrated data logger and trigger box
Multiple measurement units can be triggered to grab images simultaneously or in sequence
Computation
Fast correlation computation over all loading stages
Automatic calculation of the 3D surface coordinates, 3D displacements and the plane strain tensor
Calculation of stresses if the corresponding material data are known
Primitives
Primitives (spheres, cylinders, cones, planes, lines, ...) can be generated from mesh data (certified by PTB and NIST)
Registration
Elimination of the rigid body movement
Registration of the captured data into predefined coordinate systems or into predefined geometrical elements (primitives)
Section Data
Definition of sections on 3D measurement data
Visualization of section data in diagrams
Graphical display and export of the data
Result data overlay on captured images
Result visualization of strain images, graphical diagrams, analog signals, ... in reports
Result visualization in z-axis for easy comparison to FE-computation
Statistic functionality and exports
Forming Limit Curve (FLC)
Determination of forming limit curve based upon ISO 12004
Time or section based evaluation
Evaluation of complete measurement series
Automation
Macro functionality for easy recording, editing and launching of repetitive steps in image acquisition, post processing and data evaluation
Hardware
64 bit PCs with Dual CPUs to minimise the measurement and calculation time
