Plot acoustic results for an acoustic mesh or microphone mesh (Acoustics BEM)

With Acoustics BEM, you can plot SORT2 function results in the Simulation Navigator by using a Post Processing Scenario. You can also plot SORT1 vector results in the Post Processing Navigator.

Plot SORT2 function results

You can plot acoustic pressure, acoustic power, pressure panel contributions, and power panel contributions SORT2 function results on a microphone mesh.

To plot the SORT2 function results in XY format, see Create and edit post-processing scenarios.

Plot SORT1 vector results

You can plot acoustic pressure, normal velocity, and normal intensity SORT1 vector results on an acoustic mesh; and acoustic pressure, velocity, and acoustic intensity SORT1 vector results on a microphone mesh.

  1. In the Post Processing Navigator, right-click the Acoustic or Vibro Acoustic result node → Load.

  2. Expand the Acoustic or Vibro Acoustic result node (indicated with the icon).

  3. Expand the solution step (SUBCASE) node that contains the acoustic mesh and microphone results that you want to plot.Results appear in the solution step (SUBCASE) list.

  4. Right-click the selected results (indicated with the  icon) that you want to plot and choose Plot.

  5. You can also overlay different result(s) in the same plot.For more information, see Overlay plots.
