Next Generation Vibro-Acoustics and Aero-Vibro-Acoustics Simulation

Comprehensive Vibro-Acoustic Analysis Across the Full Frequency Spectrum



Overview

Wave6 is an advanced software solution for analyzing noise and vibration performance across the entire audible range. It combines state-of-the-art Structural, Acoustic, and Poroelastic Finite Element methods with Adaptive PML and Boundary Element techniques for low-frequency analysis, and innovative Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) methods for mid- and high-frequency modeling.

All analysis methods are integrated within a single, modern application under one license, allowing seamless combination of techniques in a unified model. Optimized for both workstations and HPC clusters, Wave6 maximizes computing efficiency and offers optional cloud-based processing to meet diverse simulation needs.
