Acoustic Horn Design – The Easy Way (Ath4)

Reminds me vaguely of a Goto Unit horn 😉

I don't know, haven't tried. I will post some ABEC projects of these for someone with a powerful machine. Without any x-y symmetry the number of BEM elements jumps basically four-fold. I don't know what time increase that represents, but I suspect it will be much more than that. One of the larger ones has 15000 elements...

Here is an 8 pointed shape I did which is actually pretty good when it is forced to a rectangle. I didn't simulate the raw shape.

Great! So let's see what you can do 🙂

- Almost 24k elements. Feel free to adjust the number of frequencies in "solving.txt" (NumFrequencies=) to a multiple of your threads available.
(Maybe this one is already a little too dense - I can easily provide a sparser one if needed.)

Yeah, 64GB isn't anywhere near enough for this. Pages over 170GB on top of that... Yet CPU load remains less than 10%.

Edit: Premature. Now it starts to happen, it just needed couple of mins to prepare it.

Edit 2: Looks like it's the ABEC which slows things down.
