Visual simulation of radiographs
Abstract
A method for computer simulation of radiographs has been added to the LLNL version of the solid modelers TIPS-1 (Technical Information Processing System-1). This new tool will enable an engineer to compare an actual radiograph of a solid to its computer-generated counterpart. The appearance of discrepancies between the two can be an indication of flaws in the solid object. Simulated radiographs can also be used to preview the placement of X-ray sources to focus on areas of concern before actual radiographs are made.
