Actran is the premier acoustics software to solve acoustics, vibro-acoustics, and aero-acoustics problems. Used by automotive manufacturers and suppliers, aerospace and defense companies, and consumer product manufacturers, Actran helps engineers better understand and improve the acoustics performance of their designs.

Actran provides a rich library of material models, a complete element library that includes infinite elements, high performance solvers to solve large size problems and a user-friendly GUI that is highly customizable to your needs. Actran, with its modular nature, can be deployed based on your applications and requirements.

Among the modules, Actran Acoustics is the foundation module of the Actran family. It is both a standalone tool and is a pre-requisite for advanced modules like Actran VibroAcoustics, Actran AeroAcoustics and Actran TM.

Consider the following options to choose Actran for solving your acoustics, vibro-acoustics, and aero-acoustics problems-

Broad Range of Applications

• Used by diverse customers like automotive manufacturers and suppliers, civil and military aircraft and aircraft engine manufacturers, and consumer product manufacturers including loudspeakers and audio device producers.
• Users can simulate not only standard acoustic problems such as exterior acoustic radiation, interior resonation or vibro-acoustic transmission, but also particular problems such as sound wave propagation in narrow ducts or thin cavities, where crucial acoustic phenomena must be faithfully simulated for the design of hearing aid devices or satellite solar array panels.

Robustness

• Contains a wide set of acoustic modeling features supported by its robust and reliable acoustic finite and infinite element library.
• Whether it is interior or exterior acoustic problems, modeling the transmission through flexible walls or predicting the absorption by a porous medium, task can be accomplished easily as Actran offers both modal and physical approaches and multiple material models.
• Through its seamless interface with most finite element structural analysis solvers like MSC Nastran, you can also solve sound radiation problems with improved accuracy.

Modular

• Packaged to suit your specific analysis requirements.
• You can get started with the foundation module of Actran Acoustics, which provides a wide set of acoustic analysis capabilities.
• For specific advanced analysis requirements, you can choose to add specific modules to reach higher level of complexity of the simulated physics.

Superior Performance

• By taking advantage of Actran's superior solvers and parallel processing capabilities, users can solve bigger problems faster.
• The mesh adaptivity allows optimal acoustic meshes to efficiently compute acoustic analyses.
• The automation capability by scripting allows running more design iterations in shorter time. Engineers can now improve time to market for their products with increased confidence in the designs.

Outstanding Support

• Backed by world-wide support, you can be confident to get answers to your questions at all stages of software usage.
• Our highly proficient services teams can also help you gain the most out of the software through customized training, consulting services, methodology development and product customization.
