Creating and sharing materials

To create a new material, click the New button and in the drop-down menu click Material.

You will be prompted with a popup where you can choose between importing or inputting the desired absorption coefficients of the material you want to create, or create a material based on its construction in the material builder.

📄️ Using absorption coefficients

After selecting the Material section in the New drop-down menu you'll be presented with the material import/input view as shown in the image below:

📄️ Using the material builder

The material builder allows you to define an absorber based on its construction and let Treble calculate the corresponding impedance and absorption values. It is currently in beta and will be improved and expanded upon in the near future.

📄️ Sharing created materials

You are able to share the materials that you've personally created with your organization, allowing team members to access and utilize the resources you've developed!

📄️ How Treble handles material data

The following is an explanation of how Treble handles material data for simulation purposes. Treble’s advanced algorithm has been developed so that a user can take full advantage of the wave based solver and pressure based image source method. The wave based solver requires the use of a material’s impedance properties, but absorption coefficients are more commonplace within the field of room acoustics, in part because they are easier to conceptualize.
