Purpose:
The objective is to enable NDT-RT Level II and Level III Radiographers to develop Radiographic Inspection techniques using a software simulator, leading to repeatable and accurate results every time.

Description:
is a software application that can be loaded and run on Microsoft Windows operating systems. This extremely powerful scientific product enables the user to generate simulated radiographic images based on the material attenuation properties by ray tracing arbitrary samples. Geometrical description of samples can be provided by standard CAD packages.

History:
BAM Berlin, Germany, has invested in developing Radiographic Simulator packages. Their experience and trials conducted have enabled them to release a simulation package suitable for Radiographic Professionals around the world.

Benefits:

• Reduces radiographic technique development time from days to minutes.
• Enables optimisation of radiographic techniques for correct set-up and exposure conditions rather than relying on multiple real-world trials..
• Material changes can now be evaluated in advance so that techniques are in place when substitutions begin.
• Supports the education of NDT personnel by additional “practical” training possibilities by computer experiments
• Used in prediction of system performance tasks Simulation Supported POD plays a key roll to limit the costs.
