CIVA FIDEL2D, an “add-on” module to CIVA UT simulation software, uses a hybrid semi-analytical and finite difference method of computation to provide refined 2D simulation of UT inspection of composites, while minimizing the computation time required . This tool is based on the FIDEL code (from AIRBUS Innovation Group), but has been integrated into the CIVA interface for ease and continuity of use.  CIVA FIDEL2D  is dedicated to composite structures and helps to evaluate additional configurations not possible with existing semi-analytical models, such as the heterogeneity of the composite plies, and interaction between the plies.  It is also possible to simulate layers of resin only (for example epoxy) located between the composite fiber plies, to model ply waviness, to compute the response of a very small defect compared to the wavelength, and to visualize the beam propagation and its interaction with the composite structure and any defects that are present.
