Common workflows#
Project-wide analysis — Prepare inputs, run the project and check saved room results.
Room refinement — Review a room, apply a finish or treatment and compare the prediction.
Acoustic Ray Analysis — Follow Setup, Results and Experience for a named source-and-listening-position analysis.
Excel material import — Review a workbook’s units and candidates before importing chosen materials.
Project transfer — Save an Acouso project package and review its import into a receiving project.
Workspace backup and restore — Preserve or deliberately recover the wider local Acouso workspace.
Readable report export — Choose saved rooms and CSV schedules for a readable report ZIP.
