Acoustic Load Set

Use an Acoustic Load Set to define the acoustic source loads for use in an acoustic or vibro-acoustic analysis.

The acoustic source lets you set a name, label, and description for the acoustic load set, and add various types of loads.

Corresponding Nastran Syntax

The Acoustic Load Set corresponds to the ALOAD case control command.
