Advances of Simulation and Expertise Capabilities in CIVA Platform

Simulation is more and more widely used by the different actors of industrial NDT. The French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) launched the development of expertise software for NDT named CIVA which, at its beginning, only contained ultrasonic models from CEA laboratories. CIVA now includes Eddy current simulation tools while present work aims at facilitating integration of algorithms and models from different laboratories and to include X‐ray modeling. This communication gives an overview of existing CIVA capabilities and its evolution towards an integration platform.
