Hi Bernhard I would certainly like to see more animations if you could make those available. For different input frequencies and longer sustain for sure. I'm suprised no one has jumped in yet and commented on the vibrational characteristics displayed. I found it interesting to watch the wave development evident in the right side illustration. Struck me as quite similar to string vibration really... appears like a traveling wave starts off and turns into more or less a kind of standing wave action real quick. It brought to mind some thoughts about the discussion we had a few years back on how the internal longitudinal wave action in the panel works together (or not) with the transverse wave action visable. If you can set up more animations... please do so. Cheers RicB ------ If there is interest, i could show more of that animations with longer sustain and more tones on different soundboard locations or even with different soundboard shape (with /without cutoff bar, other rib dimensions, other soundboard thickness, wood grain orientation etc.) at a higher resolution with a beamer on a convention. regards, Bernhard
