The following acoustic power loss results are available for Coupled Field Harmonic and Harmonic Acoustics analyses.
: This result solves for the Sound Power Level loss between the Incident Power on the Inlet Port and the Transmitted Power at Outlet Port.
: This result solves for the ratio of sound energy absorbed by a given Inlet Port to incident sound energy upon the surface
: This result solves for the difference between the Incident Sound Power and the Reflected Sound Power on Inlet Port.
These results use a pre-defined Input Port and/or Output Port in order to derive acoustic power quantities based on the surface loading conditions applied during the analysis.
Port definition requires that the:
General Miscellaneous property of the Analysis Setting be active (default).
Port Position property of the selected Port object be set to (default setting).
Port Behavior property of the Port be set to (default setting).
Refer to the PLAS command in the Mechanical APDL Command Reference for more information.
