Abstract

Some loudspeaker manufacturers, such as Celestion International, use models that have evolved over many decades and have been extensively tested. The consumer loudspeaker- market is very competitive which requires rapid design evolution. FEA modelling offers a tool that can be used to assist in the design process to potentially permit the consideration of radical design changes using non-standard components.

We show how scalable performance for FEA modelling can be obtained by clustering commodity PCs running Windows NT using existing resources and networks. This has allowed Celestion International to change their design process with very little capital outlay.
