...and here we go, v1.0.
Expect a few bugs of course
This one assumes constant expansion throughout. I'm going to redo it to reflect a dual expansion with the second occurring on the last bend before the mouth, which should allow simming of different mouth sizes.
I've run into a problem trying to programmatically determine L34 (or soon to be L45). For the moment I've set it to L12 + panel thickness (like if the horn's mouth is at the bottom rather than the front. This means that it might be off a few inches compared to the sim.
Ok Brian, I'm struggling with calculating inner panels' 1-4. It's a TQWP (straight flare TH).
S1-S4 = 929.03cm2 (16"W x 9"D internal).
L12 = 20.32cm (8").
L23 = 325.12cm
L34 = 20.32cm
External Box = 97.155H x 100.965D x 44.45W (38.25" x 39.75" x 17.5")
The attached image gets close to what you're looking for. Unfortunately v1.1 will not support simming a straight flare (expansion angle=0) at the moment because some of the calculations will fail. I'll give it another look during the course of the week to see if this can be addressed.

Thanks Brian! I saved both 1.0 & 1.1. I was using 1.0 for the straight flare since I only had to deal with L12 thru L34. I used 0.01 for the expansion. What are the keys to figuring out the those 4 inner panels? When using 1.905cm (0.75") wood, the inner panels (x) widths should be 40.64cm (16"). Is Panel E the piece under Panel D (top)? What does the 72.5 & 73.6 numbers calculate?
1.0 has a few groan-worthy bugs in it. I don't suggest using it unless you know a thing or two about Excel and you're interested in modding it to fit your needs.
1.1 needs a bit a of work as well to sort out the issues between S3 and S5.
73.6 cm in the example is the position of panel E wrt the back panel. Use the "Plot" options to highlight or remove specific panels, etc., if necessary.
Change it and see what happens
My path width is 22.86cm (9")
Post a screen graph of the "Path Calculations" page. That should give an idea of where things might be going off.
