Enables users to visualize how noises of a 3D sound source spread onto sound receiving plane to perform noise level simulation in UC-win/Road.
Initial Release: 2011.06.09
Related Product: UC-win/Road
This option plugin enables UC-win/Road users to simulate noise level by placing an imaginary sound receiving plane inside the VR space and observe the effects of any sound sources near it. This feature takes into account the ground surfaces and buildings to accurately analyze the sound pressure level on the test surface.
Noise Simulation is divided into 3 phases: pre-process (data entry), main-process (the analysis), and post-process (displaying results).
Pre-process
In this phase, users would select any 3D model they wish to analyze on, enable it as a sound source, and assign some characteristics of the sound source. The sound receiving plane can either be manually placed individually or automatically generated along the road. There is also a search feature if users need to look for a specific sound receiving plane inside the VR space.
Main-process
The Noise Simulation plugin provides a full range of options for both simple and complex simulations. Users can thus alternate between different levels of details to suit their own needs or objectives. Some of the main elements of the analysis are shown in the following:
Post-process
With a variety of display options, it is possible to view the simulation result from different perspectives. Other than the standard contour (line) maps, we have also added a grid-shaped map, as well as a sphere-shaped map to help visualize and understand the sound pressure level.
Features
This option is unique due to the following reasons:
Preprocessing
Before starting, it is necessary to at least place, position, and define the sound sources, sound receiving points / planes.
Once the above is done, the plugin retrieves or generates the following information:
Data Entry (via Dialog Boxes)
The following entries are entered into dialog boxes:
Data Entry (automatically retrieved)
The following data is retrieved automatically from UC-win/Road.
Calculation
The details of the calculations are written as follow:
Output
Results are outputted into the following:
Post processing
Based on the outputted data, the following graphs can be generated and displayed:
