The Interior Lumped Speaker Boundary is used to model a loudspeaker (dust cap, cone, and surround assembly) using a lumped representation with a coupling to an
Electrical Circuit interface. The mechanical and electric properties of the speaker are described through a Thiele-Small representation and associated lumped parameters. Add this node from the
Interior Conditions submenu. The interior version of the
Lumped Speaker Boundary includes the effects of the fluid domains on both sides of the speaker boundary explicitly.
Define how the Speaker area (projected) of the speaker is computed by selecting either
Selected boundaries (the default) if all boundaries are present, or
Use symmetries if only the speaker surface is partially represented. Enter the
Speaker area multiplication factor Ascale (default is 1). The settings are required in order to compute the effective area of the speaker.
Define the Speaker axis direction eax by selecting
Automatic (the default) or
User defined. For the automatic option the axis is computed as the average of the surface normals, this option is valid if a full speaker surface is selected. The user defined option should be used if the speaker surface is only partially represented.
For the Automatic option select
Reverse automatic speaker axis direction if necessary. The axis orientation can be visualized by plotting the axis components
acpr.ilsb1.e_axx,
acpr.ilsb1.e_axy, and
acpr.ilsb1.e_axz. (using the proper item and physics scope).
This section gives information about the state of coupling/connection to an Electrical Circuit interface. If the Interior Lumped Speaker Boundary is not connected the text
Connect to ‘External I vs. U’ in the Electrical Circuit interface text will be displayed. Once connected a reference with a tag to the associated
External I vs. U node, in the Electrical Circuit interface, is displayed.
