Abstract :
In this communication we briefly present the phased array simulation tools developed at the CEA in the aim of driving delays laws, predicting ultrasonic beams, simulating and processing acquired data. These tools allow to manage NDT inspections in complex configurations. We present some examples on such configurations illustrating the interest and reliability of simulation.
