ASCRES

ASCRES, Opt
Specifies the output type for an acoustic scattering analysis.

SOLUTION: Analysis Options

Opt

Output option:

TOTAL	—	Output the total pressure field (default).
SCAT	—	Output the scattered pressure field.

Notes

Use the ASCRES command to specify the output type for an acoustic scattering analysis.

The scattered option (Opt = SCAT) provides a scattered pressure output, p_sc, required for calculating target strength (TS).

The default behavior (Opt = TOTAL) provides a sum of the incident and scattering fields, p^total = p^inc + p^sc.

Issue the AWAVE command to define the incident pressure p^inc. If the AWAVE command is defined with Opt2 = INT, only the total pressure field is output regardless of the ASCRES,Opt command.
