inWaves

inWaves is a desktop CAE tool for structural dynamics and acoustics. Modal, harmonic and random-vibration analysis, multibody motion with contact, coupled flow, and the sound field they produce: one model, one solve chain, on your own Windows machine.

Full product, 30 days, one machine. No credit card.

Capabilities

Six disciplines, one model.

Analyses that usually live in separate packages share one scene tree, one unit system and one result store. What couples in the real machine couples in the model.

Structure

Structural dynamics

  • Modal, linear static, buckling, prestressed analysis
  • Harmonic response (FRF) and random vibration (PSD)
  • Quadratic tet and hex solids, beams, shells
  • Composite laminates with per-ply stresses
  • Plasticity and thermal loading

Motion

Multibody dynamics

  • Time integration with real, geometric contact
  • Bearings modelled as balls and races, not tables
  • Joints, rigid and flexible bodies in one run
  • Gas-spring elements with pressure as the physics
  • Impact trains and contact forces as outputs

Motion workflow →

Flow

Flow & aeroacoustics

  • Lattice-Boltzmann solver coupled to the structure
  • Rotating machinery: blade loads and duct pressure
  • Flow-induced sound via the Curle analogy
  • CUDA GPU path in the same build; CPU fallback

Flow workflow →

Acoustics

Sound radiation & rooms

  • Rayleigh and BEM radiation from the vibrating surface
  • Room acoustics by ray tracing
  • SPL field maps and band-limited levels
  • Virtual microphones with audible time signals

Acoustics workflow →

Test

Signals & modal testing

  • WAV, CSV and UFF import with unit enforcement
  • FFT, Welch PSD, spectrogram, order views
  • FRF and coherence from drive and response channels
  • Experimental modal identification (EMA)

Signal workflow →

Geometry

CAD & meshing

  • STEP, IGES, STL and OBJ import with health checks
  • Geometry healing for real-world CAD
  • Tet and swept-hex meshing through gmsh
  • Element quality reported before you solve

Workflow

A straight line from geometry to report.

Model

Import CAD or build parametric parts. Assign materials from the library or your own data.

Mesh

Size from the frequency range you care about. Quality is reported, not hidden.

Set up

Supports, loads, joints and rotation on named nodes. Sensors go where your real ones would.

Solve

Modes, response, motion, flow and sound from one chain. Plots, field maps and exportable signals.

Verification

Numbers you can audit.

1.44%mean absolute deviation across 16 NAFEMS-class benchmarks
29verification runs in the public V&V set
10commercial codes compared, on their own published numbers

Every release is measured against NAFEMS and closed-form benchmarks before it ships. Competitor cells come from the vendors' own verification manuals, and the rows we lose stay in the average. Where a solver path has a known limitation, the manual says so in plain words.

Deployment

Runs on your desk, stays on your desk.

Put your own machine in the scene.

The trial is the full product for 30 days on one machine: every solver, the GPU path included.
