LW FINDER
LW Finder eliminates assumptions about stentensometer placement, finding the best locations to place the stemometers and predicting a measurement error.

LW Finder is for structures that are expected to have a relatively linear relationship between load and measured voltage. The Extra Errors module provides additional support for structures with nonlinear effects, such as plastic deformation. LW Finder is capable of compensating for nonlinear behavior in the structure and can be configured to take into account the properties of an individual voltage measurement setting.
In addition, this software allows the user to prioritize load cases with minimal error and selects the locations of the meters accordingly. Finally, error prediction allows the engineer to know in advance whether the test will provide sufficient quality data. This means better risk management and fewer interruptions in the project schedule due to unexpectedly poor test results.
Key features and benefits
Fast genetic algorithms look for possible voltage gauge locations and angles to find the ones that result in the minor measurement error.
Prioritizing load cases lets you select which load cases should provide the best data.
Predicting the measurement error allows you to ensure that the stenshotometers will provide the data you need and otherwise allow you to redesign or cancel the test.
Industrial Applications
In the vehicle and heavy equipment industries, the LW Finder is used when engineers and technicians are preparing to use voltage gauges to measure structural loads during a physical test. The software finds the best locations to place the stertensometers and predicts the measurement error.
If the expected results are acceptable, the locations of the meters will be provided to the technician.
If the results are predicted to be unacceptable, the engineer has the option to cancel the test or modify the structure to generate larger deformations.
