Horn.ell.a is the HornElliptical
Aided software. With Horn.e.lla is possible to
create in few minutes designs of several horn expansions as Hypex family (Catenoid, Exponential, Hyperbolic Cosine, Hyperbolic Sine, Conic), Tractrix, Spherical, Spherical Closed and Waveguide.
The software is able to manage various parameters as frequency
cut-off (minimum step= 1 Hz), axis samples number, flare constant, mouth ratio, environment
temperature and humidity, aperture angles, solid
radiation angles and the size of horn throat, mouth and length. Horn.e.lla
has some new features compared to similar products as the full
3D model, as environment
information that permits to adapt working temperature and
humidity, or as the aperture angles down to the horn section. This
characteristic is useful in example to optimize horns with
compression drivers, coupling
horn profile with driver geometry and exit. Horn.e.lla develop profiles with a
proprietary numerical algorithm which
transforms the wave guide progression from
Circular, Square (Mouth Ratio= 1) to Pseudo-Elliptical and Rectangular HCD horns (Hybrid Constant Directivity) (Mouth Ratio> 1). Horn.e.lla
automatically generates a database
where records all routed designs
and from where it is possible to recall the designs. The saved
files are 2D and 3D .asc (.asc is a standard code for information exchange ASCII encoding file, easy manageable by most CAD available today) ready to import into your CAD
software with which to create the mechanical parts of your horn.
