The description was the file name - a 1kHz tractrix horn with a 1" entrance. If you browsed that directory, there was a shot of the model with a similar file name. The input wave was flat with equal amplitude across it, and yes, I realize this is not likely to be the case in real life with a real compression driver providing the input to the horn. I've also played with curved wavefronts (normal to the horn wall at the entrance) still with equal amplitude across the wavefront and not seen much difference. From what you mentioned the other day, the real problem might be that the magnitude varies across the wavefront...? Any thoughts on getting input data for this, a good approximation to use, or is it really just a case of having to simulate the entire system?Btw, I'm a little fuzzy on the difference between FEA and BEM (I do know what the acronyms stand for). In BEM, are you only specifying conditions at boundaries, or do you still have a mesh with nodes, etc.?
