Welcome to AcouSTO

AcouSTO (Acoustics Simulation TOol) is an open source Boundary Element Method (BEM) solver for the Kirchhoff-Helmholtz Integral Equation (KHIE). The code is released under GPL v3.0.

The current version of AcouSTO (1.1-beta):

• can handle symmetries to reduce computing time;
• includes a preliminary parallelization scheme based on MPI2 and SCALAPACK;
• includes a preliminary memory management system to control RAM allocation;
• can handle 3D boundaries of arbitrary geometry;
• includes a preliminary GUI written in Java;
• includes a plug-in to generate the geometry with the Blender 3D modeler ;
• includes a preliminary interface to MySQL to easily store and retrieve the results of large test campaigns;
• comes with a preliminary documentation (user and reference manuals).

AcouSTO sources are back !!

Dear user ...

AcouSTO can solve the following problems:

• scattering of planar or spherical waves by multiple, arbitrarily shaped, bodies;
• radiation of vibrating closed surfaces (wall motion assigned).

There is no limitation in the number of incident waves or point sources. The code can handle exterior and interior acoustics. The current version can't handle moving sources and moving boundaries (will be included soon).
