If you want to understand the physics of sound wave propagation, I have another article more detailed on it here
How to simulate the propagation of a 2D ultrasonic wave in a steel plate with OnScale:
- How to create a simple geometry model in Onscale
- How to assign time-varying pressure loads and boundary conditions
- How to set up a material and setup your grid mesh
- How to simulate the propagation of a 2D Wave and obtain acoustic pressure results
Here’s the video of the tutorial:
Few words about OnScale:
OnScale is an FEA based software specialized in Acoustics and Electronics which integrates with Amazon Cloud allowing you to run million degrees of freedom analysis very quickly. It has a top notch multi-physics solver and an easy to use graphical interface which allows you to run acoustics and various electro-acoustics analysis very smoothly.
