33.3.33 Acoustic Receivers Dialog Box

The Acoustic Receivers dialog box allows you to specify the location of the acoustic receivers. See Section  22.2 for details about the items below.

Controls

Number of Receivers   allows you to specify the total number of receivers for which you want to compute sound.

Name   shows the name of the receiver. If you edit the field, the new name will take effect after you click the OK button.

X-Coord., Y-Coord., Z-Coord.   specifies the coordinates for each receiver. Note that because ANSYS FLUENT's acoustics model is ideally suited for far-field noise prediction, the receiver locations you define should be at a reasonable distance from the sources of sound (i.e., the selected acoustic surface), and can fall outside of the computational domain if needed.

Signal File Name   specifies the name of the file used to store sound pressure signals for the corresponding receivers. By default, the files will be named receiver-1.dat, receiver-2.dat, etc.
