Abstract: Various embodiments include a method for creating an evaluation table for an ultrasonic inspection of an object comprising: simulating a scattering of ultrasound on a defect having an established defect size using a computer-implemented two-dimensional or three-dimensional simulation, wherein the defect size is less than or equal to the wavelength of the ultrasound and the simulation takes into consideration a mode conversion of the ultrasound by the defect; ascertaining the reflectivity of the defect from the simulation; and creating the evaluation table by means of an assignment of the ascertained reflectivity to the established defect size of the defect.
