"EASE 5 is a big step forward. The completely new user interface combined with lots of useful tools and further improved simulation modules allow for much more intuitive and effective workflows."
Step-by-step guide: How can I export CAD models to EASE 5 in DWG format?
EASE 5 (Enhanced Acoustic Simulator for Engineers) provides support for importing 3D models in DWG format, allowing users to transition from architectural modeling environments to acoustic simulation seamlessly. This guide explains how to export models from SketchUp and Rhinoceros (Rhino) in DWG format for use in EASE 5, including the specific settings required to ensure compatibility and optimal mesh resolution.

Best practice: Upgrading multiple licenses from EASE 4 to EASE 5
This FAQ gives an overview of what should be taken into consideration when upgrading multiple EASE 4 licenses to EASE 5.
First considerations – Number of users
The first step is to determine how many users are likely to work in parallel with the software. This number determines the minimum number of EASE 5 licenses you should acquire.

“EASE 5 is a game changer offering easy to use, intuitive tools and modern workflows. Not only is the ability to import a 3D DWG into EASE 5 out of Vectorworks Spotlight a huge time-saver, but it keeps the consistency throughout all of my engineering programs and allows me to deliver stunning visual content of acoustics and loudspeakers analysis alike, in both 2D and 3D, that every one of my clients can easily understand.“
