Interaction between the tonpilz sonar array and a scattering object.
The possibility of coupling BEM to FEM creates a highly versatile simulation environment for the automotive audio industry.” Acoustic engineers will get unprecedented modeling power by being able to analyze the full range of acoustic frequencies from the lowest bass notes to ultrasound, in addition to all of the possible multiphysics couplings available in the software. “We are pleased with the full range of methods available in COMSOL, from FEM and BEM, to ray tracing. “The recent addition of the boundary element method in COMSOL Multiphysics will enable us to model large acoustical radiation problems, such as, exterior sound reproduction for electric cars” comments Martin Olsen, Principal Engineer, Research, at Harman Lifestyle Audio. This exciting release is a result of a big focus on quality and major advances in new powerful modeling methods, increased speed, and user-driven enhancements.”ĬOMSOL 5.3a offers acoustics analysis based on the boundary element method. With the multiphysics modeling capabilities of our software, they can create innovative products faster and at a lower cost than ever before. As Svante Littmarck, COMSOL President and CEO details, “Our customers strive for a highly efficient product development cycle.
