Will FLIR provide the inputs it uses for NVTherm models? Does FLIR run NVTherm models for customers?
FLIR's Engineering team has adopted the following general policy regarding modeling inputs and outputs:
As required, detection range models can be performed for major proposals where standard configurations are insufficient, and where a custom configuration and the model inputs/outputs are necessary to secure the business. In cases like this, the opportunity must undergo a business worthiness assessment to justify the use of engineering resources.
The Engineering team does not perform or support “what-if” modeling for customers, except as part of a sanctioned business development activity. If a customer is having difficulty determining from the product specifications that FLIR provides (pixel size, lens focal length, and NEdT) as to whether or not a certain system’s performance is sufficient for their application, then using a more complex model like NVTherm is very unlikely to get the customer closer to a reliable answer.
