REL is excited to release a new version of SURE-Pulse to the high strain rate testing community. SURE-Pulse is an open source software suite that aims to be the industry standard in material analysis.
We encourage you to download and install the latest version found at http://www.relinc.net/software/. Only the latest version of the software will be supported.
Features included in this release include
- Improvements in noise filtering
- Video output from Image correlation follows sample deformation
- A citation section to ease citing of the software
- Tutorial section including links to training videos
- Usability and bug fixes throughout the software
The new filtering method uses a triangular window, with much better performance than the previous filter, which was prone to ringing artifacts.
The video output now defaults to Eulerian strain, which produces a strain map that follows the sample as it deforms.
The SURE-Pulse software remains open source, and we invite you to inspect our code or even fork our repository.
