SoftSTRAIN

SoftSTRAIN

NewTec Scientific has developed the “SoftStrain” software to program and control the MT1000 tensile stage and carry out mechanical tests manually or automatically.

From the launch of the software: dynamic display of sensors at 10Hz

Main features of SofStrain:

  • Display of any type of curve (X, Y defined by the operator)
  • Log file with the progress of the test
  • Display of the steps in progress and the heating powers
  • Definition of a test
  • Definition of the sample type
  • Definition of limits (with password)
  • Definition of a test with the different steps
  • Force, displacement, speed, stress control…
  • Creep tests
  • Expansion tests, thermal conduction
  • Connection and dialogue with a MEB
  • Connection and dialogue with an Optical Microscope
  • Change of control during the running test
  • Slope and speed adjustable on all parameters

Editing and memorizing very ergonomic and simple scripts:

  • Programming at each step the type of control (force, displacement, stress, absolute, relative, …)
  • Programming the step value
  • Slope programming (xxx / second)
  • Heating programming (none, homogeneous, differential or independent)
  • Programming a pause time at the step level
  • Manual or automatic programming to go to the next step
  • Programming the connection to a MEB
  • Programming the connection to an optical microscope
  • Programming the recording frequency
  • Ability to delete steps
  • Possibility to copy one or more steps and to multiply it (cyclic)
  • Possibility to move a step
  • Possibility to modify the step to come during the test
  • Ability to stop a step in progress, modify and start again
  • Display possible on double screen
  • Movable display screens

Other functions are accessible and modifications are possible on request
