Genetic Material Optimizer
The Genetic Material Optimizer is a tool that will automatically adjust your materials’ absorption coefficients in order to get a closer match with measured results. This is useful when designing acoustical treatment for a new room and the model must match the real room, but some materials are not well known. Alternatively, you can define a target range for parameters in a new room, in order bring your parameters within the desired range.
