Infinite Plane, Rigid Plane dialog box (Acoustics Transient BEM)

Type
Type Lets you select the type of infinite plane.Rigid Plane (Symmetry, Zero Velocity) The rigid plane (symmetric boundary condition) represents zero normal velocity (Vn=0).Use a Rigid Plane (Symmetry, Zero Velocity) plane to model a perfectly reflecting acoustic surface, such as a very stiff concrete wall or floor.Pressure Release Plane (Anti-Symmetry, Zero Pressure) The pressure release plane (anti-symmetric boundary condition) represents zero acoustic pressure (p=0).Use a Pressure Release Plane (Anti-Symmetry, Zero Pressure) plane to model a zero pressure surface, such as an air-to-water interface.For more information see Acoustics BEM solver environment. Rigid Plane (Symmetry, Zero Velocity) The rigid plane (symmetric boundary condition) represents zero normal velocity (Vn=0).Use a Rigid Plane (Symmetry, Zero Velocity) plane to model a perfectly reflecting acoustic surface, such as a very stiff concrete wall or floor.

Name
Name Specifies the name of the infinite plane.
Description Specifies the description for the infinite plane.
Destination Folder
Simulation Object Container Specifies the folder in the Simulation Navigator in which to store the new infinite plane.The list includes the root container and folders that you created using the New Folder command in the Simulation Object Container.
Folder Manager Displays a hierarchical list of folders.To create a new folder, right-click any level of the hierarchy and choose New Folder.
Plane Parameters
Orientation Specifies the orientation of the infinite plane. Select:XY PlaneYou set the location of the XY Plane on the Z axis.YZ PlaneYou set the location of the YZ Plane on the X axis.ZX PlaneYou set the location of the ZX Plane on the Y axis.
Position on X/Y/Z Axis Specifies the position of the infinite plane on the X, Y, and Z axis as appropriate.
