Developing high-quality products often generates a huge volume of test data - and carefully evaluating that data can play a big part in ensuring their success on the market. Polytech GmbH, the expert in high-resolution optical vibration measurement technology, has now extended its portfolio with the addition of PolyWave software. It is unveiling the new solution for the first time at HANNOVER MESSE 2018. Tailored to meet the specific requirements of the company's customers, PolyWave offers evaluation modules for experimental and operational modal analysis test data, order analysis data and a module for comparing and validating FEM simulation data. The automatic report generator then helps users compile reports and presentations. That means results can be presented quickly, easily and clearly.

However, the stand-out feature of the new addition is that PolyWave focuses on what really matters. Once integrated into a test procedure, which is a straightforward process, PolyWave checks data sets even while loading and then offers precisely the right evaluation tool for the actual analysis. Thanks to this support, not to mention clear user guidance and task-based presetting for all key parameters, even beginners can work like experts. On the other hand, PolyWave gives the real experts all the freedom they need for detailed analyses. As a result, the system can also be used for handling measurement data from laser Doppler vibrometers, which generate large volumes of data due to their high spatial and frequency resolution. Even several thousand transfer functions can be analyzed with ease. Ultimately, PolyWave picks up where the tools of Polytec measurement and analysis software very deliberately leave off and thus completes the circle for computer-aided engineering.
