LMS Virtual.Lab AcousticsRevolutionary Multipole BEM solver
In the world of acoustic simulation, the trend is towards more complex simulations and higher frequencies. Without the right tools, an acoustic calculation can take a serious bite out of development productivity. Not only does this cause budgetary pain, it can even put the project in jeopardy. Thanks to the new hyper-fast multipole BEM solver in the recently released LMS Virtual.Lab Acoustics module, acoustic experts can forget about sitting around for days twiddling their thumbs waiting for results. This hyper-fast solver does all the hard number crunching in couple of hours for larger systems or overnight for ultra-large problems.
