DESIGN & SIMULATED TEST: TESTING


 Material testing processes need to be designed to be repeatable, reproducible, accurate and traceable, below; test design software is particularly suitable to complex material tests in production environments, inset


On a visit to Zwick Roell in Ullm, Jonathan Newell discovers the latest testing software designed to take the guesswork out of configuring static hardware tests


Taking the guesswork out of test design


Testing. The event showcased how the material testing giant has adapted its portfolio tomeet the changing needs of industries spanning healthcare, aerospace and automotive as well as scientific and academic communities. At the core of Zwick Roell’s large product

innovation in terms of its load frame, user assistance, finemeasurement technology, material holding, automation, extensometers, high temperature equipment and software, such as testXpert.


TEST DESIGN SOFTWARE Now on its third iteration, testXpert benefits fromsome significant improvements in usability, interface simplicity and support for the company’s ethos of ensuring accuracy, repeatability, reproducibility and traceability. IvetaMattielighova of product


marketing demonstrated testXpert III to


me in one of Zwick Roell’s campus laboratories and it was clear fromthe outset that the company has created something which is bold, simple and designed verymuch with the user inmind. I rarely sit through software


demonstrations as they’re frequently dull, complex andmeaningless without hands-on experience of the interface. Watching an expert click across the screen as drop-downmenus flash up and disappear before your eyes tells you nothing about what it’s like to use the system. However, whatMattielighova pointed out tome was a screen divided into just
