Free Field Technologies founded by Jean Pierre
Coyette and Jean Louis Migeot in 1998, situated in
Belgian. Actran development start in
1998 by Jean
Pierre Coyette and Jean Louis Migeot. In starting, Actran is
developed by Free
Field Technologies, but later in 2011 it is also develop by MSC
Software Corporation. In 2011, MSC Software Corporation acquired Free Field
Technologies.
Jean Pierre Coyette and Jean Louis Migeot idea is to
develop a Finite-Element based software which provide solution for Vibro-Acoustic
problems. With the help of Finite-Element Method now Actran offers simulation
of difficult noise system, different type of material used in CAD model and
handle multi-degree freedom models. At starting, Actran main purpose is to
provide the simulation of Acoustic transmission in the complex barriers area of
the geometry. As Actran use Finite Element Method, it overcome the limitations
of Boundary Element Method. Actran fundamental feature is use of infinite
elements (IE). Actran use conjugated infinite elements, provide extension to
wave envelope procedure.
The name Actran
made from 2 words: Acoustic and Transmission.
Initial Development of
Actran project was funded by an industrial confederation and main commercial
release of Actran is generally available in 2002. A three year exclusiveness
period of Actran is given to industrial confederation members.
Actran is developed with
python and C++ languages. Actran is available for both Windows and Linux
operating system. Currently Actran is divided into 8 software module with
licenses, for users easy and need.
Actran divided into 8
modules are:
- Actran Acoustics
- Actran VibroAcoustics
- Actran AeroAcoustics
- Actran SNGR
- Actran for Trimmed bodies
- Actran TM
- Actran DGM (Discontinuous Galerkin Method)
- Actran VI
- Actran Student Edition
Actran software is
incorporated with MSC Nastran for vibro-acoustic analysis. MSC Nastran model
converted into Actran input file and structural modes data is used in Actran
simulation. Structural mode data is generated with Actran or third party CAE
software. Actran is merged with MSC software products like: MSC Adams, MSC
Nastran SOL700, Dytran and MSC Marc.
Actran Acoustics modules deals
analysis of Acoustic radiation, softly coupled vibro-acoustic. Actran
VibroAcoustics module deals analysis of toughly coupled vibro-acoustic. Actran
AeroAcoustics module offers analysis of computational aeroacoustics. Actran for
Trimmed bodies module offers analysis for trimmed body. Actran TM module offers
analysis for turbo-machinery noise. Actran DGM module offers for answering
Linearized Euler Equations. Actran VI module offers communal interface for all
modules, used as pre-processor and post-processor. Actran Student module offer
student edition with limited modules for student.

University Libre de bruxelles and in past, president of Royal Academy of
Science and letters and fine arts of Belgium.
