NI INSIGHT provides an innovative way of extracting knowledge from test data by mapping the information directly on the 3D test geometry. NI INSIGHT imports the 3D geometry model of the test object directly from CAD or CAE environments, maps the physical test data on the object's 3D model representation in an interactive or automated manner, and then plays back the data as a color map on or deformation of the geometry model, in both offline and online (with LabVIEW) modes. NI INSIGHT can compare the test results with simulation for design validation and synchronize them with video of the test.
