Extende trains users in the CIVA non-destructive testing (NDT) software and offers them a customised design and R&D service.
The CEA has been developing CIVA since the 1990s. Today, the software covers the most commonly used non-destructive testing and structural
health monitoring (SHM) techniques, including ultrasound, eddy current, radiography, guided wave testing, and thermography. The CIVA suite also has Script and Data Science modules to further improve the user experience.
Today, some 350 companies in 41 countries representing the
energy, aeronautics, transportation, petrochemical, and other industries use CIVA to simulate and optimize their future inspections. CIVA helps these companies improve defect detection and analysis while keeping inspection costs down.
Extende, the exclusive distributor of CIVA software, trains around a hundred engineers every year on CIVA and NDT reliability. The company is also the creator of TraiNDE, the world’s first-ever simulator for field training on ultrasound and radiography testing. Finally, Extende brings its customers support and engineering services and can also help them draw up NDT specifications, demonstrate the performance of NDT protocols, prepare for NDT qualification, and determine probability of detection (PoD). The company’s R&D activities, designed to constantly improve the available NDT tools, span both in-house projects and projects with and for external partners. Feature requests can be sent to Extende, which submits them to the CEA’s 30-strong team of CIVA developers and engineers. Extende is located in the Greater Paris area, and has a subsidiary in the United States and distributors in China, Japan, India, and South Korea.
