Acoustics Webex Seminar

Boundary element acoustics is a technology used to simulate radiated acoustics. This webex will explain the basic differences between the finite element method and the boundary element method. The Boundary Element Method (BEM) effectively reduces complex 3D geometry to 2D surface dimensions. Only the surface areas of the structural systems that are vibrating or scattering sound need to be modeled. The BEM model sizes are typically limited to a few thousand elements, resulting in relatively small, easy-to-create, easy-to-check and easy-to-handle models, as opposed to the complexity of full 3D Finite Element models. These reduced models also deliver results in a shorter timeframe, allowing users to quickly get insights in the acoustic performance of their designs.

Once a basic understanding is obtained some application examples will be shown both in the presentation and then backed up by a short demonstration using LMS Virtual.Lab. 15 minutes will also be reserved for a question and answer session and there is also time available after the webex to talk to the presenter to get further information on Virtual.Lab acoustics and it’s technology.

What will the attendee learn?

The basic difference between Boundary element Acoustics and Finite Element Acoustics How LMS approaches application examples such as washing machine or electric motors.

Who Should attend?

Management that want a better understanding of Acoustics and how it can help their work New users to acoustics, this short webex will give you a good understanding of what is available and what is possible with Boundary element acoustics.

Duration?

The session will last 1 hour and includes dedicated time for Q&A.


 

 

Please Note: The Webex Seminar commences
at 3:30pm Australian Eastern Standard Time.

 

 
 

About The Presenter

Ian McGann joined LMS as a support engineer in 2001 and provided technical assistance for customers and the LMS business development team, as well as training and direct support of all CAE software. During his first year he also took up the role of senior technical specialist for Acoustics, and he is now the worldwide product manager for Acoustics. His role is to maintain the product creation process, deliver all supporting materials (eg. technical papers, application notes, presentations), and technically support all acoustic opportunities in conjunction with other business development tasks. Ian is an expert in Acoustic, Multi Body Simulation, Fatigue life prediction, Correlation and Noise and Vibration and able to give advanced training in all LMS related products and applications.
