RADSND

Bulk Data Entry

RADSND – Defines Grids (microphone locations) where sound levels will be calculated and the locations of the corresponding source (vibrating panel) grids.

Description

Defines a set of grid points where the sound will be calculated as well as the panels that are generating the sound.

RADSND	10	100
	PANEL	101	103

Field	Contents
RSID	Radiated sound set identification number. No default (Integer > 0)
MSET	ID of a SET of field grids (microphone locations) at which sound levels will be calculated. The sound levels output at these grid points are due to panel vibrations (specified separately in the PANEL and PIDi fields, see comment 4). No default (Integer > 0)
PANEL	Flag indicating that the following panel ID’s will contribute to the sound at the MSET grids (see comment 4). Character (No default)
PIDi	Panel identification number of the PANELG data entry of type "SOUND" data. No default (Integer > 0)

Comments

1.	At least the first panel ID is required.

2.	Multiple continuations or multiple RADSND with the same SID are allowed if more than 7 SOUND panels need to be defined.

3.	The RADSND bulk data entry is referenced by the RADSND command in the Subcase Information section of the input data.

4.	The MSET and PIDi fields are used to specify the microphone locations (receiving grids) and the vibrating panels (source grids), respectively.

RADSND data entry field

Description

MSET

•	References microphone grid sets (receiving grids)

•	Outputs are generally calculated at these locations

PANEL, PIDi

•	Reference vibrating panel ID’s (source grids)

•	Outputs can also be requested at these locations
