N/A

The harmonic analysis tab is set up as follows.

The sound waves propagate outside the analysis region. Therefore the “open boundary” condition below is applied initially.

Model

The air hemisphere is created from a solid body. The open boundary is set on the surface of the hemisphere.

A circular sheet body is defined for imprinting.
Its boundary condition type is speed.
