Transmit Model Execution
Model Description
Pulse Echo techniques are commonly used for NDT applications for quality control or to characterize the internal structures of objects. This example is a 2D model and simulates a PZT plate with backing sending a signal into water load where it bounces off a rigid reflector and is received.
Parametric Variables
The model allows the following design variables to be adjusted to control PZT Disc dimensions and water load region:
