Question about VituixCAD Merger Tool

Hey all,

Does anyone know exactly how the vituixcad merger tool works?

I have a side firing port on this speaker I made. The merger tool seems to add in the port and its resonance as if they were both pointing forward. I would think that the resonances would all be far less if the port was side firing or rear firing.

Is there anyway to model it side or rear firing in the VituixCAD Merger tool? Or is there a way to take the port measurement as if it was side or rear firing? The only way I know to take it is inside of the port near field which, clearly, is at 0 degree to the port.


My port resonances are pretty bad and I am wondering how much of these resonances I am going to have to include into my crossover network. The last two bass reflex designs I made were front firing ports so this was not an issue. Their resonances were minimal.

Let me know if you have the answer to any of these questions. Thanks for reading and thanks always for any replies.
