Our Vision for Acoustics Software

Software applications are just tools, some work better than others, some look better than others. One may have the ideal engineering software but unless one has a good judgment on how to model the real world, the results might either be erroneous, or take too long to calculate. In engineering, where science is called upon to be applied in order to solve problems, one has to firstly make abstractions to be able to see the root of the problem, calibrate it against sound measurements and after being satisfied with the simulation apply remedial measures on a solidly founded model which would be able to offer equally solidly based solutions.

 That's why, Mediterranean Acoustics Research & Development, is working to create a lab in the palm of your hand, with state of the art methods in solving engineering problems with an engineering approach - The Olive Tree Lab Software Suite™.

Olive Tree Lab Software Suite is our vision of how acoustics software applications should be. Acoustics software is currently scattered into many small software applications. PEMARD imagines a suite of acoustics software tools that will cover the majority of needs of an acoustics engineer. Olive Tree Lab Software Suite will be a suite that will integrate noise barriers, noise mapping, room acoustics, building acoustics, noise control and many more other fields of acoustics.





Outdoor Sound Propagation Calculation Software

Outdoor Sound Propagation Calculation Software

 

Olive Tree Lab - TerrainTM is a noise prediction software which simulates and predicts Outdoor Sound Propagation and Noise Barrier efficiency, taking into account geometrical spreading, atmospheric absorption, atmospheric turbulence, spherical wave complex ground impedance, reflection and diffraction effects of natural or man made objects. The results are displayed as level vs frequency or level vs spatial mapping.

Case Studies and Validation projects are available for download From Terrain's website. For more information please visit Terrain's website.

Mediterranean Acoustics R&D has released Olive Tree Lab - Acoustics Lib, the first of its kind code library which allows easy implementation of complicated acoustic calculations. OTL Acoustics-Lib can be used for the calculation of various acoustical properties of 3D environments, for the development of custom acoustics software applications, for the execution and testing of new acoustical calculations.  Using OTL Acoustics-Lib you can develop fully functional code within minutes and new acoustical software applications within some hours.

The library can be used by anyone who wants to program calculations for acoustics such as Software Developers, Software Development Companies, Acoustic Engineers, Researchers and Academic Institutions.

SONarchitect ISO is the ultimate software for calculation of acoustic insulation according to EN 12354 parts 1,2,3,4 and 6 in entire buildings, developed by Sound of Numbers.

SONarchitect has a multi-catalog interface with a material database. You can add your materials from custom tests or even calculate your own insulating solution. The built-in SONmultilayer engine allows the prediction of the sound insulation of multilayer solutions. Alternatively, the SONsolver module uses selected formulas to model the acoustic insulation of custom materials. With two clicks assign roofs, slabs, walls, linings, façades, doors, windows, ventilations, blinds, floating floors, suspended ceilings for sound insulation. Add sound absorption finishings to walls, ceilings and floors to control reverberation times. You can change them easily any time later to improve and optimize the acoustic performance of your building.

Free Noise Barriers Assessment Software

Free Noise Barriers Assessment Software


Olive Tree Lab – Barrier Calculator is a free tool used for calculating the effects of infinite thin barriers from a source to a receiver.

The application uses the Hadden – Pierce (Salomons) diffraction model to calculate the Insertion Loss and Barrier Excess Attenuation for a barrier. The calculations are done from 1Hz to 10,000Hz with a step of 10Hz. The results are displayed in a high resolution graph as well as in 1/1 Octave and 1/3 Octave averaged graphs.

The calculation takes into consideration the Flow Resistivity of the barrier and the ground by calculating the Spherical Wave Reflection Coefficient and can therefore be used to calculate the effects of using absorptive barriers or different ground types.
