DBEM Acoustic, IBEM Acoustic, and IBEM Vibro-Acoustic Output Requests dialog boxes (Acoustics BEM)
| Modeling Object | |
|---|---|
| Name | Sets the name of the output request. |
| Label | Sets a unique integer for the modeling object.This label also appears in the Modeling Objects Manager dialog box, and you can filter the objects listed in that dialog box by their label. |
| Properties | |
| Field Computation | The solver outputs only one acoustic field (scattered or total). This option is valid for all pressure, velocity, and intensity results.Incident+ScatteredComputes both incident and scattered (total) acoustic fields. The resulting total field is the sum of the incident and scattered fields.Scattered OnlyComputes and outputs only the scattered fields.An incident field with acoustic waves propagates toward the surface, and when it touches the surface, it is scattered in many directions. Hence, scattered fields ignore the strength of incident fields. |
