The tagline of MatchID is metrology beyond colors :

• Interpretation of results in a quantitative way with integrated error assessment
• Detailed validation of finite element simulations: establish a one-to-one relationship between model and experiment by adopting identical filtering
• Make an informed choice on DIC user settings to optimize your experimental analysis
• Identification of mechanical properties via Virtual Fields Methodology: elasticity, hyperelasticity, plasticity, isotropic, orthotropic or anisotropic. Inverse identification made easy and fast.
• Customized application development and console mode to run batch processing analyses
• In-depth training : annual courses by experts in the field, self-training material

This philosophy is reflected via some unique MatchID features:

• Control of advanced settings
• Highly accurate interpolators
• Higher order shape functions
• Lens distortion corrections
• Rigid body motion corrections
• Various implemented strain tensors: Euler-Almansi, Logarithmic Euler-Almansi, Hencky, Green-Lagrange
• Direct approach to the quantification of resolution and spatial resolution
• Direct integration with identification of mechanical properties (additional modules)
• A thorough comparison between DIC and FEA (additional modules)
