Combine FEM and BEM method in acoustic simulations

Post by JamesMarine »

Is it possible to combine FEM and BEM method in elmer for acoustic simulations? I am trying to use FEM to simulate the acoustic propagation inside some structure and then its radiation to the outside spaces?

Can i use elemer for this purpose?

Hi

It has been done. However, we used a BEM code that is not under open source and had some tailored coupling routines. You probably need a few iterations between the two codes. Solely within Elmer this is currently not possible.
