First Development version of Boxsim in english language

[UweG]

Hello Willy,

thank you very much for your feedback. I appriciate it.

I have the impression that the optimization takes a bit longer (with 1 year old Intel Core i5-8500 computer - 16Gb memory) but that the results are more accurate.

This is true also with other computers. The optimization strategy of the versions after 1.20 is a bit different and optimizes a bit more in one step, but this takes a bit more time. I often abort the optimizer manually when I see, that the main part of the optimization seems to be done.

The version 1.991 is a test version. This is the only reason why it is limited in time. I just do not want to support bugs in the software that have been repaired long time ago. Since the first introduction of 1.90 in December 2017 there was only one day where no version was running because I forgot to update in time. As I am actually in vacations, I spend a lot of time with the new Boxsim. The current plan is:
- new version 1.993 or 1.994 next weekend, still time limited and only in german language, but with all features of the final version.
- before christmas: Final Version 2.0. Running without time limit. German and english language.
You can be sure that Boxsim 1.991 will not run into the time limit and no update will be available. Even if we would find a bug that cannot be repaired until christmas, I would delay the final version but then of course provide an update with another test version.

I'm writing this thread in english although this is a german forum, because it is related to an english topic and especially dedicated to those whose language skills in english are better than in german.

On the one hand, I want to give a chance to test the new Boxsim also to those, who prefer the english version of the program. On the other hand I am not a native english speaker and thus I am always a bit unsure if my translations are commonly used english language and would be well understood also by people not speaking german language.

And here it is: Boxsim 1.991EN

Hello UweG, I have been using Boxsim 1.991 for about 3 weeks now and I am a fan of it. I always worked with version 1.2, which I was already very satisfied with.
I have the impression that the optimization takes a bit longer (with 1 year old Intel Core i5-8500 computer - 16Gb memory) but that the results are more accurate. I once had to cancel the optimization because she was already working for 2 hours. That was with a 3-way system with 2nd order, third and fourth order filters. On top of that a resonance improvement in both low and middle range. furthermore, an impedance leveling for all 3 areas.
Furthermore, no problems and if you know version 1.2, the switch is low threshold.
However, I now realize that all projects that I have made in the 1,991 can no longer be used from 24 December. That is why I make them (the most important ones) now in version 1.2 with the crossover data of 1.991.
What happens from the end of the trial period? Will there be a new final version recently?

P.S. My English is also from Google translate from Dutch.

Actually not. Main focus actually ist the enhancement of the simulation of the directivity.
Up to now I stopped upcoming ideas to deal with housings of higher complexity than a simple Helmholtz resonator when I had no idea how the user should enter all the resonance frequencies and damping properties of such a system.

OK, thank you for your answer!

Hello Uwe G, are there any plans on dual chamber bass reflex simulation?
