Hi, I'm trying to define 50 monopole sources each with distinct position and pressure values in Actran 2023.2. How can I do that without inserting the values individually?

I've tried cloud source but I get errors while generating the .nff file.
  • Hi, Good question!

    You can use a "Acoustic cloud source" for spherical sources by defining it with the CLOUD_SOURCE data block and using the MONOPOLE keyword. The DOMAIN keyword specifies the domain containing the coordinates of the sources in the cloud, allowing for an efficient way to create many sources.

    The 50 sources co-ordinates you can keep as a *.bdf file and read in Actran.

    Please feel free to reach me if you need more details. 

    Thanks,
