The document describes a new module in ARAMIS and ARGUS software that allows for direct comparison of finite element analysis (FEA) simulation results with optical 3D surface measurement data. The module automates the alignment and mapping of different coordinate systems and enables calculation and visualization of deviations between FEA predicted and measured values like strain and geometry. Examples analyzing springback, wrinkling, and local details in a formed suspension arm and trunk lid demonstrate the module's capabilities for validating and improving FEA simulations.
