Acoustic absorption dataThe material list for Version 10, is arranged with 1000 materials in each category. The purpose is to make it easier for consultants to create a material library structure and easier for manufacturers of materials with measured acoustic absorption data to make excel sheets ready for input in Odeon. The materials that come with the Odeon installation should only be used as an example. It is the consultants job to select his/her own absorption-data for selected manufactures.

Each manufacturer can make a list within each material category of up to 100 materials from number 0-99. If you represent a material manufacturer, send us a link to your special Odeon Data-file or for your homepage. Please contact support@odeon.dk. See how to create material data-files below. The materials from manufacturer should be filled into a data sheet like this example material lists. The data sheet should always have 10 columns for description of the material and 8 columns for the absorption coefficients in 1/1-octave bands. When using the above Excell sheet as standard, materials can be loaded into the material library by the following points:
The blue column headings in the data sheet cannot be changed and represent: manufacturer name, material name, web-address to measuring report or homepage and the 8 octave bands. When a web-address is available it is possible to open a web-browser at that address from within odeon when the material is selected. The absorption coefficients of each material should be written in 1/1-octaves from 63 Hz to 8000 Hz. If the two outer octaves 63 or 8000 Hz are not measured/available (Do not write 0.0), just leave the cells blank in the data sheet, if no measurement has been made then Odeon will use the absorption for 125Hz and/or 4000Hz respectively and automatically make a note in the text string that one or both of the outer octaves has been estimated. In the material database every 1000 numbers has a category (e.g. gypsum, or wood). In each category the first 100 materials should be reference materials within the category. Odeon has suggested a few to begin with. Hereafter there will be room for 9 different manufactures lists (e.g. with number 1100-1199). In this way the consultant decides, which manufacturer should be having what 100 numbers of absorption by writing the first 1-3 numbers in front of the manufacturers numbering. The numbering of the main categories is given below: 100-999 Concrete |
