  • Sound Simulation_ Reverberation Time calculation_Inconsistant Results

    Good morning all,I am currently working on the calculation of the reverberation time of different closed spaces. I have a closed geometry (simplified model of the Hypogeum in Malta), and what I did was change the scale of it, so I had 3 versiones in: 1:1 / 1:2 / 1:5. What caught my attention was…

  • Very cool, but Error "Index was outside the bounds of the array."

    Hi, I am intrigued by Pachyderm. Thanks for creating and sharing it. Oddly, I am experimenting with not a room but a portable semi-transmission-line speaker enclosure. I want to see what's going on in it. The Pachyderm case is pretty much a boilerplate tutorial thing, largely copied from…

  • Could not load file or assembly 'Pachyderm_Acoustic, Version=2.6.0.14.

    Hi Arthur,I'm experiencing a persistent issue with the Pachyderm components in Grasshopper. While the plugin works correctly when launching a simulation directly from Rhino, as soon as I open Grasshopper I receive a series of errors, and it's impossible to run any simulations. I tried uninstalling…

  • Impulse response (IR) and auralization grasshopper components

    Hi Arthur,Thank you for your software as usual, it is a great tool !I tried my model using the Pachyderm Rhino interface to auralize and export some impulse responses, and it works like a charm (exported a mono and ambisonics IR as .wav file, and Auralized it with an anhechoic .wav through the…

  • Running Simulation...

    I tried numerous times to conduct a simulation for a simple case study with one receiver and one source, but it took a long time each time, that can reach 20 hours and may not complete the simulation, although, I used several computers with varying specs. How can I solve this problem and shorten…

  • Software capabilities

    Hi!This is very interesting, but I have some questions about the applicability / limitations of your software. What it can and what it can not do. I am an architect, used to formfinding but am not acoustically trained in any way.I want to optimize the shape of a sound protective fence next to a…

  • Actual reverberation time and error from Pachyderm simulation

    Hi all,I'm currently working on calculating reverberation time using Pachyderm Acoustics.I have a reverberation chamber close to me, and I have an environment where I can check the actual reverberation time.The reverberation chamber of the attached GH file was given a condition of low sound…

  • Pachyderm does not load

    Hi, I loaded Pachyderm into Rino 7 and tried a simple model in a box and it immediately crashed Rhino. I cycled through that a few times with the same result. I off loaded Rhino 7 and re-loaded Pachyderm to no avail. I then purchased Rhino 8 and cycled through the same problem. Now Pachyderm will…

  • Mapping surfaces with Grasshopper

    Hi Arthur, First of all, thanks for your previous answers,I was wondering if there was a way to calculate the Mapping Method and see the result directly in Grasshopper? I thought that there was maybe a way with the pach_direct component, but I can't seem to make it work. Do you have an example file…

  • Pach_Direct component

    Hello,In pach_direct component, there is an input for delays in ms. In the description it ask to input an integer but the category is set to mesh. So when I insert the number it fails to convert the data and when I insert mesh I get the following error. Could you please tell me what should be the…
