What is Coustyx?

Coustyx is a next generation analysis software that integrates Advanced Boundary Element formulations with Fast Multipole Method to yield fast, accurate solutions to very large problems in Acoustics, across a wide frequency range. Coustyx is developed with support from the National Science Foundation.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Built on FMM-BEM technology -- allows very large models (1 Million DOFs).
  • Intuitive GUI for easy model setup. Integrated 3D post-processor to visualize analysis results.
  • Parallel implementation on shared memory, multi-processor computers takes advantage of multi-core processors to yield faster solutions.
  • Programming Language Support and Batch Mode Options are available.
  • Built-in FEA translators to import geometry and vibration data from NASTRAN, ABAQUS and ANSYS.
  • Most comprehensive selection of Boundary Condition options, and built-in Acoustic wave sources.
  • Outputs include Sound Pressure, Velocity, Intensity, Directivity, Power (ISO Standards 3744, 3745 and 9614 available), and Muffler Transmission Loss.
