These options can be added to your existing Data Viewer Type 8400 application to enable access to files from our legacy platforms, standard and third-party test formats and FE models. The data is safely transferred to and from the BK Connect platform without risking data loss or corruption, ensuring that you have continuous, seamless access to all your data, regardless of its source of origin.

Finite Element (FE) Models
The geometry models and results from finite element analysis (FEA) software, such as Nastran, Ansys and Abaqus, can be imported for Test-FEA integration. When combined with BK Connect Modal Analysis and BK Connect Correlation Analysis, this enables test planning, test validation, and model correlation.

USE SCENARIOS

File interfaces using standard or proprietary test formats for:

• Exchange and comparison of data from BK Connect with data from other Brüel & Kjær systems
• Exchange and comparison of data from BK Connect with data from third-party different systems

FE Model interfaces for:

• Test planning, where a large FE model is reduced to a smaller manageable test model
• Test validation, where the results from a test and an FEA are compared
• Model correlation, where a complete correlation analysis is performed between test and FEA results
