Getting started

Overview#

Acouso-ROOM is an Autodesk Revit add-in for project-wide and room-level acoustic analysis. Users can:

• Assign acoustic standards and room occupancies.
• Connect Revit construction types and materials to Acouso acoustic materials.
• Include rooms and surfaces from host and linked Revit models.
• Run reverberation analysis across a project.
• Review reverberation time, STI potential, critical distance, and material information.
• Refine individual rooms with finish materials and acoustic treatments.
• Run reflection and Source-to-Receiver ray analysis.
• Manage standards and material libraries.
• Import, export, back up, restore, and report on project data.

Quick Start#

1. Open User Hub, enter the authentication key, and click Verify.
2. Open Acouso-ROOM and select the required project standard.
3. Review Settings, including model scope, calculation method, display units, and room boundary handling.
4. Assign room occupancies manually or use Suggest Occupancies and review the suggestions.
5. In Surface Materials, assign baseline acoustic materials manually or use Suggest Materials and review the suggestions.
6. Resolve any important missing or generic material assignments.
7. Click Run Acoustic Analysis.
8. Review results in Project Schedule.
9. Open Room Analysis for detailed room review or Ray Analysis for spatial reflection analysis.

First project checklist#

1. Open User Hub, enter the authentication key, and click Verify.
2. Open Acouso-ROOM and select the project standard.
3. Review Settings, including linked-model scope, calculation method, display units, and room boundary handling.
4. Assign room occupancies manually or review suggestions from Suggest Occupancies.
5. Open Surface Materials and map relevant Revit construction types to Acouso materials.
6. Resolve missing materials and conflicts before running project-wide analysis.
7. Click Run Acoustic Analysis.
8. Review the project in Project Schedule, using search and room hiding to focus the schedule.
9. Open Room Analysis or Ray Analysis when a room needs more detailed investigation.
