Vibroacoustic Applications
The Solid Mechanics and Piezoelectricity interfaces are available with the Acoustics Module such that vibroacoustic problems involving solids, piezoelectric materials, and acoustic domains can be modeled. These multiphysics applications include piezo transducers, loudspeaker drivers, loudspeaker cabinets, automotive applications, and sound transmission and isolation problems. Pure elastic wave problems can also be modeled as the Solid Mechanics equations are formulated to include the full dynamic behavior.
Additional multiphysics capabilities of the Acoustics Module are enabled when it is combined with the Structural Mechanics Module. The Shell interface, which is part of the Structural Mechanics Module, enables predefined acoustic–shell couplings. The Acoustic–Shell and Thermoacoustic–Shell interaction multiphysics interfaces are enabled. The option to couple to shells, membranes, and multibody dynamics using the Acoustic–Structure Boundary is also enabled, see the
