Profilometer software for NDT surface roughness inspection

Submitted by profilometer on

Novacam 3D Profilometer Software

The Novacam three dimensional software programs are used with all Novacam Profliometers. The program permits the consumer to define how big the region, or line to be measured, along with the lateral resolution from the measurement.

Novacam's high end Data Acquisition Profilometer Software programs are incorporated with all of MicroCam non-contact profilometers.

Profilometers using Low Coherence Interferometry used by NASA to measures thickness

Submitted by profilometer on

Using a fiber-based optical profilometer NASA measures the thickness of liquid nitrogen in cryogenic chambers at its Propulsion Systems lab because these profilometers use fiber-based probes which can withstands the extreme environment, can be located hundreds of meters away from the interferometer and fit in the tight chamber which standard full-field profilometers with a human operator could not. The signal quality stays constant over the distance.

Nonlinear static in SAP 2000 (Problem with hinges assignment)

Submitted by hazrina on

Hi everyone,

Currently I am working with nonlinear static pushdown analysis in SAP 2000. I understand that when the analysis gives a warning 'unable to find a solution at step 20' means that the assigned hinges are compete to unload i.e where one hinges requires the applied load to increase while the other requires the load to decrease.

My question is, how are we going to overcome this warning?..Is there any better solution for this?

Looking forward for anyone to reply.

Best Regards,

Hazrina Mansor

ANSYS Meshing Problem

Submitted by dmadw0man on

Hi I am currently using ANSYS 13 Workbench to do FEA on .igs files of leg bones (femur, tibia, and patella), I am new to ANSYS and I am having trouble meshing the bones. I am able to mesh the bones individually however when I import the whole leg assembly (assembled in proENGINEER) it will not mesh. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
