EASE Evac v2.0.10

12.09.2022

The new version EASE Evac 2 is a paid upgrade and includes the following new major features:

• Updated STI calculation

  • STI masking corrections according to the 5th edition of IEC 60268-16. 
• Upgraded report
  • A dialog window allows selecting different options. Various tables can be disabled or enabled via this configuration window, as well up to 5 additional mappings can be added to report.
  • A progress bar indicates how many rooms have already been processed.
  • The report shows for each room several geometrical quantities including surface area, volume and dimensions.
  • Volume and surface area including objects are indicated as net volume and net surface area.
  • In the distribution data table the report shows the min and max values for the distribution statistics.
  • Surface materials information is added to the report 
  • When generating a report one can optionally add a table with all objects.
  • Cumulative distribution results are shown in the distribution section of the report.
     
• Crest factor settings for constant-voltage networks
  • Allows switching between Sine, Speech (-9 dB) and Music (-15 dB) drive levels. 
  • Speaker power consumption is derated accordingly.
  • Line loss and additional headroom estimated at 2 dB (60%) total which are added to the power consumption.
     
• Cumulative distribution and results at thresholds for all mapping quantities
  • For SPL, SNR, STI and CIS, the percentage area for the minimally achieved values is shown.
  • For Alcons, the percentage area for the maximally achieved values is shown.
     
• Measurement tool in Top view provides distance, time of flight, X- and Y-offset for two selected points.
   
• System definitions can now be selected from a tree drop-down, which has subfolders according to the loudspeaker brands/manufacturers.
   
• Configure layout map by independent origin and scaling.
   
• STI class width: added 0.05 selection to distribution graph
  • Extended class widths of all quantities to include 0.4/0.04 and 0.5/0.05 versions.
     
• Added 4 dB and 5 dB widths to Relative Mapping of Direct SPL
  • Extended width choices for all result quantities.
     
• Front View and Side View now show the horizontal dimensions of the sections.
   
• Improvements to material assignment
  • Material areas in the Surfaces window can be copied, cut, and pasted.
  • Furthermore, inserting a new vertex assigns the previous material to both new walls.
     
• Allow deactivating a receiver in the Frequency Response view
  • In the frequency response view, one can now right click on a receiver in the legend in order to deactivate it and hide its curve in the diagram.
     
• Added NCB noise curves
   
• Added RNC noise curves
   
• Updated PNC and NC noise files
   
• Added menu link to loudspeaker database on AFMG website

Bugfixes:

• Fixed multi-thread problems when generating the report. This would occasionally cause an exception message that an object was already in use.
• Fixed exception in the report generation that used to occur when a room has no speakers or only muted speakers.
• Fixed sporadeous mapping graphic issue
• Fixed sporadeous increase of line width for various graphs
• Maximum values for Noise Levels were implemented
