Sound Analysis of an Amphitheatre. Importing Model to Ecotect Anaysis . .3ds geometry-- Ecotect. .3ds geometry-- Ecotect. Conclusion: Analysis will retard or take long time. Revit and Ecotect. Tag the object carefully in Revit for gbxml filetype !.

Revit and Ecotect Tag the object carefully in Revit for gbxmlfiletype!
Revit model tagged as shaded part and untagged as un-shaded part. To import gbxml format from revit for analysis, whole part should be completely tagged
Conclusion: Analysis will work but cylindrical geometry will be a mess as ecotect converts it into triangular components.
Avoid Complex Geometry as far as possible. Cylinder computed by Ecotect becomes more complex triangular geometry
More Simplified geometry for Ecotect Model Carefully deleted the outer cylindrical from imported xml file and created cylinder surface on ecotect so that analysis is done smoothly.
Reflector position and orientation calculation Acoustical Analysis
Trial 1 12m dia=30m
Trial 1Default 12m dia=30m
Trial 1Default 12m dia=30m
Trial 1Default 12m dia=30m
Conclusion of Trial 1 • More REVEB sound was detected. • Hence need to modify -Geometry -Orientation (incident angle etc.) • Material quality is kept as default. • Hence parameters to control in the analysis are Reflectors (ceilings) property.
Trial 2Lowering ceiling Decreased by 3m 9m dia=30m
Trial 2Lowering ceiling Decreased by 3m 9m dia=30m
Trial 2Lowering ceiling Decreased by 3m 9m dia=30m
Trial 3 Increased by 3m 15m dia=30m
Trial 3 15m dia=30m
Conclusion of Trials 2 and 3 • As we change the heights of the ceiling, just above the stage, quality changes drastically • As we lower more noise is observed • As we higher the ceiling good quality is observed for same directed ray generated.
Acoustical Analysis Material assignment to the Reflectors at height of 12m
Adding Material-NRC.03 12m dia=30m
Adding Material-NRC.03 12m dia=30m
Adding Material-NRC.61 12m dia=30m
Adding Material-NRC.85 12m dia=30m
Conclusion of different NRC Values • For Higher Noise Reduction Coefficients (NRC 0.6 and above) most of the sound waves are observed that leads to Dryness of Sound which seems to be bad of an amphitheatre. • For lower NRC(0.3) we have variety of sound variation which is not desired • Hence selected NRC 0.56 which is 12 mm Mineral Fiber Material which is also fire resistant.
Adding Material-NRC.56 12m dia=30m
Adding Material-NRC.56 12m dia=30m
