RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE USE ANDVALIDATION OF NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING SIMULATION
8
2. Considerations and recommandations on the use of NDT simulation
The different elements justifying the relevance of the code:
⇒
⇒
Consideration of the physical basis of the model and its domain of validity: engineering understanding and
theoretical considerations.
⇒
⇒
Available and controlled data related to the validation of the model or the code in similar situations: data from
the literature, international benchmarks, experimental databases etc...
⇒
⇒
Experiments carried out specifically with the aim of evaluating the reliability and accuracy of the code in the
case under study.
