Generate Acoustic Analysis Plots
Acoustics → Generate Acoustic Analysis Plots
For the option: | Do the following: |
|---|---|
Adams Analysis | Select from a list of Adams analyses in the session. |
Acoustics Analysis | If the selected Adams analysis has one or more acoustics analyses based upon it, they will appear here. Select the one for which plots should be generated. |
Play Sound | Any microphones for which an audio file was generated by the selected acoustics analysis will appear in this option menu. Select one and click the "Play Sound" button and the corresponding .wav audio file will play through the system's default media player. Note: Tip for getting good audible .wav file: The quality of the DFT can be reassured with the Nyquist criteria, fmax = 1/(2  t), with  t the time step and fmax the maximal computed frequency for the DFT. However, for an audio file of high quality the Nyquist criteria is not sufficient. It is suggested to have 5 to 20 times more time steps for the same maximal frequency, thus 1/(20 t). |
Manual Import | This is primarily for users wanting to generate plots for acoustic simulations from the preceding "Adams2Actran" toolkit form MSC Services. It can also be used, though, as a means to generate plots from acoustic simulations not currently in session. Click this button to browse for an .a2ac file corresponding to an acoustics analysis. |
Ok/Apply | This will launch automated plotting of the selected acoustics analysis. The automated plots that get generated are described in the following sections. |
