Benefits And Features

A complete acoustic simulation solution for tackling any acoustic or noise problem

Compressed Reduced Impedance Matrices (CRIM) for Nastran PEM and Actran for trimmed body analyses

The newest version introduces a new compressed way to store reduced impedance matrices (RIM) for 3D acoustic trim analysis. Drastically reduce the size of those matrices and reduce computational time due to fewer I/O operations. Fine-tune the accuracy with the CRIM_TOLERANCE keyword. A higher tolerance will select more modes, leading to more accuracy but less compression.

Automatic conversion of 3D meshed trims into 1D analytical trims

3D meshed trims can be easily converted to 1D analytical trims. Reach higher frequencies at a lower cost in terms of runtime and memory consumption. Quickly access trim performance indicators like transmission loss. Reuse the existing 3D trims for building up a SEA model (only supporting 1D trim definitions).

Enhanced vibration mapping method based on experimental data

Easily set up an acoustic radiation model starting from experimental vibration data (surface acceleration, velocities or displacements). Avoid complex structural dynamics modelling and rely on experimental data to assess the noise emission. Conduct a structure-borne transfer path analysis with a hybrid approach mixing experimental and computational results.
