Simcenter 3D Solutions In Simcenter 3D Ray Acoustics Solver, Acoustic Absorbers values are interpreted using a different convention compared to Simcenter Nastran and Simcenter 3D BEM Acoustics.

Summary


Details

Issue:
Acoustic Absorber values, as entered in the Simcenter 3D Environment for Ray Acoustics, are interpreted as their complex conjugate values by Simcenter 3D Ray Acoustics Solver.
This led to different results when comparing microphone responses, between Ray Acoustics and Simcenter Nastran or Simcenter 3D Acoustics BEM. 

A workaround in affected releases, is to enter the Acoustic Absorber values as complex conjugate values manually (change the sign of the imaginary part) in the Simcenter 3D Environment for Ray Acoustics. 


The problem has been fixed for Simcenter 3D 2021.1 v1953
