RIM (3D) Software (download open source code and manual free)

The web page gives access to the manual and rimman/codes (open source) that implement the Rayleigh Integral Method. The Rayleigh Integral Method is useful in computing the acoustic properties of a flat panel radiating into a half space.

Before downloading the rimman/codes, please join the Linked-in user/developer group . You will then be informed of additional features, upgrades or applications of the code in the future.
