Three Ways That the Acoustic Influence Map Is Better
Posted: 2022-9-17Since the Acoustic Influence Map (AIM) modeling tool was introduced with the launch of the OmniScan™ X3 flaw detector, it has become an integral assistance tool for the design of total focusing method (TFM) scan plans. AIM provides an estimate of the TFM acoustic intensity coverage for different TFM wave sets and scatterer types, enabling you to create a scan plan that maximizes the probability of detection (POD).
With the release of MXU 5.10, you’ll benefit from three major upgrades to AIM that fu...Read More.
