Is there a web page that shows what features are available in DEMO mode?
I understand that the accuracy is less (is this only due to the sub division level value of 2 in Tracer?), and I see some of the geometric forms in the Ramsete CAD grayed out (pipe, text). Is it more or less the same as the 'LITE' version (or is it much less and where)?

I am want to use Ramsete DEMO for open space environments (for neolithic buildings, like Avebury, etc.) and I am wondering if this accuracy issue would be destructive for such environment (say of the open space monuments say around 100m * 100m).

I know I can buy the Lite version;-), but its price for a non-for-profit private person is not cheap;-) Don't get me wrong I see the value of Ramsete.

Thanks for the feedback.

All the best,

The answer to your question was given in the following topic page:
http://ramsete.forumfree.net/?t=40631678
The first post was in Italian, indeed, so now I am going to translate it to English for you.
Basically, the demo version is Ramsete Lite, with a lock on parameters affecting the computation accuracy, such as number of pyramids, number of discrete early reflections, etc.
All these parameters appear on the Ramsete Tracer user's interface: although you appear to be able to change them, the software will ignore the changes, while running in demo mode.
However, if you are dealing with outdoor applications, there is a simple trick for restoring a reasonable accuracy: use more sources!
If for example you are modeling a road as a long line of point sources, with the paid version of Ramsete you could insert a source every 10 meters, and fire 256 pyramids from each source. In demo version, you could still make a sensible simulation inserting a source every meter, and leaving the standard 16 pyramids per source... If you want a better accuracy, space the sources 0.5m, or even less....
Of course, the more the sources, the smaller need to be their sound power...
The "demo" mode does not gray out any option: the things grayed out, are grayed also in Ramsete Lite. Only upper versions "Classic" and "Ramsete II" have some or all of these features available..

And if you want to explore the full version, you could always crack Ramsete.;) This could even be perfectly lawful, depending on the laws in your country...
Bye!

Thanks.

It seems that a question I had in 'installation' is just removed. A pity as it has nice information;-)

However, the result file (anyname.__A, or anyname.___ if you did not select the "ave separate sources" flag) contains the computed impulse response, for each receiver, in 10 octave bands.
...
But the skilled user can get all these values from the "parameters" file (anyname.-_A, or anyname.-__).

Thanks, I can indeed see them get now and can easily put them in Excel, thanks for this help!!!

All the best,


Victor

It was not removed, it was moved to the proper "general" section of the forum, as it has nothing to do with the installation procedure. The English Manual issue is a general problem...

a quando la versione per Mac?
è possibile testarla se c'è ?
Disia si può provare (per esempio tramite un comune a cui ho fatto la zonizzazione)?


Grazie di esistere.....

PS
Sono un ex studente di Cocchi e Semprini con cui ho fatto la tesi

Effettivamente una versione "alfa" di Ramsete Multiplatform (Windows/Mac/Linux) è in corso di primo sviluppo proprio in questi giorni, ma temo che la prima "beta" da far testare in giro non la avremo sino a gennaio 2010...
Si tratta di una versione ultralight, in sostanza si fa tutto da Ramsete CAD, e in uscita si ottiene semplicemente il file WAV con la risposta all'impulso calcolata per ciascun ricettore. L'elaborazione della stessa viene poi lasciata ai normali software che si usano per elaborare le risposte all'impulso misurate (ad es. Aurora).
Comunque, sui moderni Mac con processore Intel, Ramsete gira già benissimo grazie a varie interfacce software: ad es. Bootcamp, oppure Parallel Desktops se non si vuole riaviare il computer in Windows. Anche con Wine gira, sia sotto Linux che Mac, ma con una certa riduzione di performance...
Idem con Crossover, che sconta pero' la stessa penalty prestazionale di Wine, anche se e' decisamente piu' stabile.

Per quanto riguarda DISIA; la password viene concessa unicamente alle Pubbliche Amministrazioni, dietro richiesta ufficiale delle stesse, come chiaramente indicato sul sito.

Saluti
