LW Finder helps engineers optimize strain gauge placement using simulation data to accurately measure loads on structures. It serves test and durability engineers working with vehicles, machinery, and structural components. The software predicts measurement accuracy, supports load prioritization, and reduces testing risk by identifying potential data quality issues before physical testing begins.
Estimates expected load reconstruction error before testing, helping engineers assess data quality in advance.
Automatically identifies the most informative strain gauge locations and orientations using FE simulation results.
LW Finder interfaces with Simcenter Hypermesh, Simcenter Hyperview, and Simcenter Optistruct.
LW Finder predicts strain measurement errors before physical testing. Engineers can evaluate design changes virtually, improve sensor placement, and increase data quality, reducing test uncertainty and minimizing costly re-testing.
