SIM is an innovative, digital overall concept for determining service life and inspection intervals for plant components, consisting of damage tolerance methodology, engineering services, online monitoring and approval aspects:

• Holistic inspection concept incl. simulation program, crack propagation
tool, etc.
• Derivation of flexible inspection intervals
• Specifications for non-destructive testing – NDT (potential crack
locations, position and orientation of possible cracks)
• Online monitoring as a basis for damage prevention as well as for
extended analysis of plant, machine and process data
