[QUOTE="Brad Weber, post: 72922, member: 114"] Re: The Future of Acoustic modeling According to a local Autodesk rep, at one point Autodesk was apparently considering integrating acoustic modeling of some form into AutoCAD and Revit. I think that somebody got the idea that they were already capable of 'modeling' all the surfaces and finishes, so it shouldn't be a big deal. My guess is that somebody then realized how complex it can really be, the support it would require and the fact that most AutoCAD and Revit users would have no idea of what they were doing. I also believe that EASE 5.0 is going to add boundary element method analysis for low frequency modeling. BEM may also be relevant to improved modeling of the absorption, scattering and diffusion characteristics of materials. Think of something like a speaker polar/balloon but what you see is how sound is reflected off a material surface for different frequencies and with a sound source at different angles relaitve to the material face.
