Static Acoustics

The Static Acoustics system determines displacements, stresses, strains, and forces in your structure or structural components that are caused by loads that do not induce significant inertia and damping effects. Steady loading and response conditions are assumed. The loads and the structure's response are assumed to vary slowly with respect to time.

it is used as a pre-stress environment for future downstream Modal Acoustics or Harmonic Acoustics analyses.

This analysis is configured in the Mechanical application, which uses the Mechanical APDL solver to compute the solution.

To work through a Static Acoustics system:

  1. To add a Static Acoustics analysis system, drag the system from the Toolbox to the Project Schematic or double-click the system in the Toolbox.

  2. To load the geometry, right-click the Geometry cell and select Import Geometry from the context menu.

  3. To view the geometry, right-click the Model cell and select Edit from the context menu or double-click the Model cell.

    Alternatively, you can complete this step using the Setup cell.

  4. In the Mechanical application window, complete your analysis using the application's tools and features.

    See Static Acoustics Analysis in the Mechanical Acoustic Analysis Guide for more information on conducting this analysis.
