COMSOL 6 For Speaker Design and Transducer Development Explained!

The AES Audio Product Schooling Institute (APEI) is presenting a brand new on-line occasion on Wednesday, March 2, exploring the newest updates to the Acoustics Module in COMSOL Multiphysics 6.0 and its potentialities for loudspeaker growth. The session, introduced by simulation skilled Mads Jensen from COMSOL, will element and clarify the numerous enhancements launched within the newest model, particularly specializing in transducers and all the nice new options for audio system usually.
 

Launched December 15, 2021, the brand new COMSOL 6.0 software program launched a simplified workflow for organising hybrid lumped-FEM fashions of loudspeakers, a consumer interface for the simulation of magneto-mechanical forces in transducers, and far more. This can be a novel alternative to find out about these and different new options within the up to date COMSOL Acoustics Module, reflecting in nice half from suggestions collected from customers throughout the audio business.

The Modeling and Measurement occasions promoted by the Audio Product Schooling Institute are sponsored by COMSOL, and as such the AESA/APEI has deliberate a possibility for the audio business to get acquainted with the brand new potentialities and likewise ask the questions that relate to electroacoustic transducer purposes. 

With the audio business more and more initiating new product growth efforts with simulation-driven designs, and progressing progressively to Digital Twins, it turns into vital to grasp all of the huge potentialities these instruments can supply. Utilizing modeling and simulation systematically via the design and optimization levels of an acoustic machine, is proving to allow vital efficiency breakthroughs. Not solely by eradicating variables, however by figuring out key undesired properties and results, whereas enabling sensible options that may be prototyped, verified and applied.

The Acoustics Module in COMSOL Multiphysics 6 introduces many extremely requested options that replicate the software program’s growing use within the audio business. The session will present an outline of these vital areas of enchancment, comparable to the likelihood to mannequin piezoelectric phenomena within the time area for wave propagation utilizing a time-explicit formulation, physics-controlled mesh for strain acoustics issues, or new high-frequency wave strategies. Speaker designers particularly can profit from a brand new Lumped Loudspeaker boundary situation and sector symmetry choices within the exterior subject.

This occasion will profit from the participation of Roger Shively (JJR Acoustics, LLC), extremely skilled within the areas of transducers, automotive audio, psychoacoustics, and pc modeling, and Tim Whitwell (Tectonic Audio Labs) which presently leads cutting-edge efforts in transducer growth utilizing COMSOL. Roger will share his expertise and ask questions, whereas Tim will focus on his work with the brand new software program, and modeling exterior strain fields utilizing the brand new cyclic symmetry function. The session can be open for questions following shows.

The Audio Product Schooling Institute’s Modeling and Measurement training pillar is sponsored by COMSOL and underscores the AES’s dedication to offering its membership and the business at massive with info on real-world options for audio product growth.
