ACTRAN

ACTRAN

ACTRAN is a Finite Element Method - Infinite Elements Method (FEM-IFEM) software package developed by Free Field Technologies SA, a Belgian company. ACTRAN is aimed at solving acoustic propagation problems. It has several modules for targeted applications, mainly in the automotive and aeronautic industries but not exclusively. The package contains today tools for vibroacoustic simulations and aeroacoustic simulations.

History

The first version of ACTRAN has been released in 1998. The complete history of the ACTRAN family will be written in the future.

Software Architecture

ACTRAN was primarily written in FORTRAN. The last versions of the code are written partly in C++ and Python. It is a fully 64 bits, parallel implementation. Details will be given in future versions of this draft page.
