Vibration Visualization (VCS)
Animate 3D Models of Test Objects
The 3D Model Reconstruction software produces 3D geometric models of complex test structures from a batch of 2D photos.
EDM Online Visualization window is available in all the test types of the EDM software, including EDM DSA, VCS and EMA. This option provides fast and efficient structural model generation and full 3D visualization of the structure deformation under test.
EDM Modal Operational Deflection Shape (ODS) allows users to better visualize the deformation of the structure under test. Time domain data and spectrum data are animated using the animation feature of the geometry model. This feature is integrated with EDM Modal Geometry and works for all types of EDM Modal testing.
Vibration Visualization Software for Vibration Control
3D Model Reconstuction
There are three methods of generating a three-dimensional geometry model of the structure under test.
- Take photos of model for construction (2D to 3D)
- Import FEA/CAD model
- Create model using geometry editor
Crystal Instrument’s 3D Model Reconstruction software uses the advanced technology of 2D to 3D reconstruction to provide a simple solution to the intricacies of creating 3D geometric models of convoluted test structures. This approach not only saves the user time and effort but also provides an accurate model with great simplicity. The user simply takes photos of the test article and feeds it into the software. These images are matched to extract the features and a 3D model of the structure is constructed after point and surface reconstruction processes. This method is extremely easy to use, does not require any manual labor and is much quicker than the other two approaches.
Vibration Utilities App
Crystal Instruments in partnership with our sister shaker company Sentek Dynamics provides users with the Vibration Utilities mobile app on iOS and Android. This app provides calculation features for sizing your vibration profile (Random, Sine or Shock) and searches through our catalogue of shakers and controllers for the best fit.
Continuous Data Recording
During vibration testing, all measurement input and drive signals can continuously record to a Spider-NAS or the internal storage residing in each front-end. Users can view and analyze data files with Crystal Instruments Post Analyzer. The variable sampling rate can be enabled to simultaneously record slow-change signals together with high speed vibration data.
Spider Vibration Testing
A Spider system can consist of one or more Spider vibration test controllers. The user constructs the system by combining Spider vibration testing hardware detected on the same LAN. The software validates and displays hardware attributes of each Spider vibration test controller. The following hardware is supported by EDM VCS software for vibration testing, monitoring, and data acquisition.
- Spider-81/81B Vibration Test Controller
- Spider-80X/80Xi High Channel Vibration Test Controller - Scale up to 512 Channels
- Spider-80M MIMO Vibration Test Control System
- Spider-80SG General Data Acquisition Device with Strain Measurement
Monitoring Through EDM Cloud
All vibration tests in EDM-VCS support status checks through EDM Cloud. With EDM Cloud support, users can set up any VCS test to upload live data or run logs for completed tests to a cloud storage space provided by Crystal Instruments, where data is securely stored in the user’s account.
The EDM Cloud website is located at https://cloud.go-ci.com. Users can access EDM Cloud from anywhere in the world to check the status of past and current tests. A secure login flow ensures the status can only be checked by authorized personnel with proper credentials. Multiple logins for accessing the same Cloud account is available.
Read & Download Vibration Visualization Product Note
The vibration visualization approach proposed by Crystal Instruments not only helps in overcoming the difficulty of producing 3D geometries of any complicated models with a simple procedure but also animates the structure’s deformation which makes it possible to visualize the vibration experienced by the testing article during a vibration test.
