Actran 2020 Suite Introduces New Acoustic Simulation for Design Processes

Free Field Technologies, the Belgium arm of MSC Software that is now part of Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence, a global engineering software company, announced the Actran 2020 design and simulation software suite comprising new acoustic, vibro-acoustic and aero-acoustic technologies that enable manufacturers to build more accurate noise prediction models of their designs, with optimizations into their processes.

ANSYS continues to expand upon its products and platform, and deliver on the Pervasive Engineering Simulation vision, with its latest release of ANSYS 18.2. This update brings increased levels of accuracy, speed and ease-of-use – spurring more engineers to use simulation across every stage of the product lifecycle to design cutting-edge products more efficiently and economically.

Free Field Technologies (FFT), an MSC Software Company, announced the release of Actran 16. The new release provides new audio and electroacoustic capabilities; acoustic propagation in huge domains and at high frequencies; new aeroacoustic modeling capabilities for fast virtual testing; and co-simulation with other MSC Software tools for multi-discipline analyses. The new release also introduces performance enhancements, including on graphical user interface and its meshing tool.
