Abstract
The paper presents utilization of open-source finite element method (FEM) software for modelling of measurement process on eddy current tomography setup. Methodology of measurements is presented, as well as software for forward tomography transformation. Developed software was based entirely on the open-source programs, which results in a high possibility of the methods implementation in industry. Presented approach for forward tomography transformation is based on numerical reconstruction of the measurement procedure in which tomography setup was simplified to two coils and measured object. Values of signal amplitude and phase shift in corresponding measurement points obtained during modelling, present high compatibility with the measurement results. This confirms correctness of the proposed method and indicate that such approach may be utilized for developing algorithms for inverse tomography transformation.
