Reflective Surface

Analysis > Loads > Reflective Surface

This tool is used to create reflective plane.

Description
  1. Reflective surface is the plane or surface over which the sound gets reflected based on its position and reflective factor.
  2. Reflective Factor is a dimensionless quantity which defines the amount of sound reflected to the source.
  3. Define plane is used to define the reflective surface as an infinite plane. Here, the plane creation is restricted in such a way that the creation is allowed only along the perpendicular planes and not in the oblique planes.

  4. This feature is supported only for Adaptive Perfectly Matched Layer method under Acoustic type.
