SPAM: Software for Practical Analysis of Materials

spam is an open-source python tool for quantitative data analysis for 2D images and 3D volumes for mechanics applications that has developed around x-ray and neutron tomography.
spam provides a registration function as well as local, global and discrete image correlation methods and their associated strain calculation. It also includes utilities varying from computing geometrical quantities such as size, shape and orientation to generating unstructured meshes.

For any questions that the documentation failed to answer, for suggestions or bug reports please join us in our chat room. You can also participate in one of our yearly workshop to meet us in person.

SPAM won the 2024 edition of an Open Source Software for research prize by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research.

We are delighted to have received this prize, as it aligns with the values and principles that we hold dear such as open source distribution, documented features and community driven developement.

SPAM wouldn't be what it is today without its thriving community and we can't thank you enough for that.
