4.6. Acoustic Waterfall Diagrams

A Coupled Field Harmonic or a Harmonic Acoustics analysis that includes multiple RPM loading conditions, provides the following result options:

  • Far-field Sound Power Level Waterfall Diagram

  • Far-field SPL Mic Waterfall Diagram

These results calculate diagrams for Far-field Sound Power Level and SPL Microphone for all RPM loading conditions to display waterfall diagrams. An example is illustrated below.

Because Waterfall Diagrams can plot large amounts of data, the application provides a zoom feature as well as other display features in the diagram window. See the Waterfall Diagram Display Features section for the steps to use these features.
