Located in Berlin, Germany, AFMG® Technologies GmbH has created the industry standards EASE and EASERA software for acoustic simulation and measurement as well as their related products EASE Focus, AFMG SysTune, EASE Address and EASE SpeakerLab.
In cooperation with our partner company SDA Software Design Ahnert GmbH we develop and distribute software for:
EASE 4 allows both the import and export of model information using the AutoCAD DXF file format. The module used for this capability is called EASE Import / Export.
To learn more about this functionality, please refer to this support document:
When I am peeking around in the Mapping or Eyes module and use the Probe function to look closer at the frequency response it always switches back to the reflectogram view.
To solve that, go to Probe Options via F9 or File/Options and select "Previous Graph" under "Default Graph" on the "General" page.
I built a very simple shoebox with a Loudspeaker and some Listener Seats. Then I ran the Mirror Imaging in EASE Rays. Although I had chosen 5 for the order, after invoking the Probe I could only see the direct sound impacts. Where are the reflections?
If there are no reflections visible in the reflectorgram, you should check two things:
I have measured reverberation times for different frequencies. How can I use them in EASE? I also ran Schroeder RT in the Probe to simulate. Does EASE use it automatically for the mappings then?
Why has the recommended resolution been changed from a half wavelength to an eighth of a wavelength?
What is the difference between the menu commands Colored Outlines and Outline All Faces?
Outline All Faces means that the rim of every Face in your Room will be drawn in a specific color.
If Colored Outlines is switched off the color to be used depends on the settings in the Dye menu, e.g. White Faces will cause white outlines.
If Colored Outlines is switched on then the colors chosen under Options/Colors/Face Outline will be used
I found some strange checkmarks in the Options Window, namely "Hor Turn Seats" and "Ver Turn Seats". Turning it on or off does not seem to affect the rendered view. What does this option mean?
What is the menu item "Without Me" good for?
If "Without Me" is checkmarked then the body of the object you're looking from (it's only available in Perspective View) is not rendered into the picture, eg. the loudspeaker case or symbol, the listener seat symbol.
I loaded a project into Ease Eyes and after several investigations I used "Watch Painting" but nothing happened.
What is the difference between Material Color and Face Color?
"EASE 5 is a big step forward. The completely new user interface combined with lots of useful tools and further improved simulation modules allow for much more intuitive and effective workflows."
“We are currently using EASE 4 in our company and I must say I'm very happy with the changes in EASE 5. The workflow is much faster and more intuitive.”
“EASE 5 provides swift simulation preparation, seamless integration with SketchUp, and visually stunning results, which make it perfect for creating high-quality reports. Its user-friendly design ensures a seamless experience for beginners and professionals, making it a valuable asset for your acoustic simulation needs.”
“EASE 5 is a game changer offering easy to use, intuitive tools and modern workflows. Not only is the ability to import a 3D DWG into EASE 5 out of Vectorworks Spotlight a huge time-saver, but it keeps the consistency throughout all of my engineering programs and allows me to deliver stunning visual content of acoustics and loudspeakers analysis alike, in both 2D and 3D, that every one of my clients can easily understand.“
“Thanks to the AFMG Team for being “agile” with this new version of EASE. It’s reassuring to see that AFMG is taking the user’s feedback into account and continuously upgrades its software with top voted remarks. There has been a lot of new upgrades in few months since the first version that I get, and everything is going on the good direction!”
“Congratulations to the AFMG team for excellent work on EASE 5 so far! The new technology and approach is highly appreciated, visualization and UX is great!”
“EASE 5 makes it easy to create audience areas and align loudspeakers. You can easily orientate yourself in the model at any time, which not only helps when working on the project but also enables a clear presentation for customers.”
“We’re happy to rely on EASE 5 as efficient tool for standard-conform STI and RT calculations. This is how we support the technical planners and architects in an efficient and cost-saving way.”
“EASE 5 greatly simplifies the process of creating and navigating around a 3D model. I was able to quickly learn the new interface and create predictions to help us design a system, and help the customer visualize the end-product.”
