Vibroacoustic analysis made feasible and effective
VNoise 3.1
Full support for multi-core CPUs ensures an impressive 2x or 4x speed gain on dual or quad core architecture. A single desktop PC can now perform analyses once limited to UNIX servers. With 2 or 3 desktop PCs placed on a standard LAN you can perform analyses that before were simply not feasible even using dedicated clusters.
VNoise 3.1
major improvements introduces a direct, full support for modern multi core CPUs, ensuring a 2x or 4x performance gain respectively on dual and quad core processors.
The multi-core support coupled with VNoiseCluster that permits to perform large and huge calculations using 2 or more PC connected by a standard LAN, constitute a powerful and flexible number crunching machine for vibroacoustic applications. You can seamless mix single, dual, or quad core CPUs in a simple LAN to obtain a powerful environment for vibroacoustic analyses of large models that are not feasible using other platforms. Some performance example for some typical applications, are here reported. All the analyses have been conducted using a single PC based on an Intel quad core CPU of the cost of about 2K euro.
Muffler shell noise
An exhaust system with a complex internal structure has been considered. The inlet source is characterized and applied at inlet.
