The magnetic field distribution around a crack can be calculated more easily and quickly by
using a dipole model than finite element method (FEM). This paper reports the development of
numerical analysis software that uses an improved dipole model to analyze the magnetic field around
cracks. The preprocessor in this software includes the crack formation software, which can distribute
the magnetic charge per unit area, m, on the crack section area. Also the lift-off, measurement area
and sensor interval, and magnetization direction can be considered in the preprocessor. Also, the
postprocessor presents functions, such as the natural magnetic field distribution and ∂B/∂x, ∂B/∂y, as
results. Also, the physical characteristics of the magnetic optical sensor and the Hall sensor are
included in the postprocessor, and the magnetic field distribution can be changed to optical intensity
and electrical signal distribution. The experiment results, which are obtained by using the magnetic
camera on the crack, are compared with analysis results obtained by using the dipole model analysis
software.
