Using an arbitrary initial configuration of a model based on WFNDEC's Eddy Current Benchmark problem #2, OptiNet was used to determine the optimal coil geometry and frequency at which the inspection of a probe, and its suitability for detecting particular types of defects, should be performed. This page examines how OptiNet was able to improve the sensitivity of the probe by a factor of 3. |

In this Gallery page example, our Mesh Layer feature is used
to demonstrate how easy it is to generate fast & reliable results
for your Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE/NDT) problems.
WFNDEC Benchmark #2 -
Eddy Current Inspection of Inconel Pipe
This study involves the inspection of an Inconel pipe using an internal pancake coil situated with its axis perpendicular to the axis of the pipe. Small defects of various depths in the external wall of the pipe are scanned in the axial and circumferential directions. Defects are detected as a change in the impedance of the coil.
TEAM Problem
08 - Coil Above A Crack
In this example, MagNet is used to analyze a non-destructive testing (NDT) problem
with eddy currents. The comparison between the experimental results of TEAM Problem
8 and the simulation results obtained from MagNet, demonstrates how our low frequency
electromagnetics simulation software can be used to accurately deal with NDT
problems.

15 - A Problem in Nondestructive Evaluation
TEAM Problem 15 looks at the inversion of eddy-current data and the reconstruction
of flaws in electromagnetic nondestructive evaluation (NDE). The model used is
one of a circular coil moving along an aluminum plate that contains a slot. This
gallery page demonstrates how MagNet can be used to calculate the resistance
and inductance of the driving coil at various positions.
TEAM problem
27 - Eddy Current NDT and Deep Flaws
The 3D Flaw model used in this example consists of a stationary coil over a sheet
of aluminum that contains a screw hole. Inside of the screw hole, a flaw is to
be detected by two Hall effect sensors, which are used to measure the horizontal
differential flux density. MagNet's 3D Transient solver correctly models induced
eddy currents inside the aluminum plate, after the current in the coil is turned
off.
