CadnaR 2021 MR1

Calculation / Configuration

  • Calculation of NR and NC noise rating curves according to VDI 2081-1. Output for each receiver or as spatially averaged level spectra (in menu Options).
  • When aborting a calculation with the particle method, the results of the last iteration can now be kept (default = activated)
  • Calculating the workplace level for source groups now taking into account the floor as fully reflective (previously: actual absorption of the room's boundary surface)
  • Configuration of calculation: „Generate particles per octave“ now activated by default
  • Calculation of standard deviations (incl. number of points) in the table "Spatially averaged reverberation times (receivers)"

CadnaR Objects

  • All point and polygon objects: Object snap when moving / creating polygon points while pressing the ALT key
  • Receiver: New diagram Level spectrum for displaying the sound level spectrum incl. NR and NC noise weighting curves
  • Receiver chain: optional specification to use rounded values of L_p,A,S,4m and D_2,S for calculation of "Propagation class" and display in dialog
  • Bugfix, object Box-Type Source: Corrected conversion to LwA when using LwA'' and non-emitting surfaces
  • Receiver: New attributes S_NC and S_NR to show the single number value according to noise weighting curves of VDI 2081-1.

Further New Features

  • New language: Italian
  • Variants: Double click on a variant in the listbox activates / deactivates it.
  • Display of error bars in the diagram "Spatially averaged reverberation times" (receivers & grid)
  • Adjustment of the line width in the diagrams via the corresponding menu item. Fine adjustment via CTRL and +/-
  • Definition of a prototype file, which is loaded at every start of CadnaR
  • New toolbar icon for accessing "Spatially averaged reverberation times (receivers)". Multiple functionality via pressing CTRL and SHIFT for direct access to table and variant comparison.

Miscellaneous

  • Consistency Check for all receiver chains: Check if height of chain points are equal to source height.
  • Consistency Check: Warning at calculation of “receiver is workplace at source“ with LpA for a single source, if 0. order is not calculated with image sources.
