Back for one more post.
The biggest benefit of simulations is that you can run lots of cases. Regardless of whether you have setup your sim correctly to give correct results, you can still try many different things to see how they affect the response. Try simulate bigger (or smaller) bass traps, put them in different places inside the room, try other rooms of different size, see how they response. One important thing people want from these analyses is to discover the trends (parametric analyses).
Theory says the most effective location for dissipative bass traps is where pressure response is minimum (i.e. the nulls), which gives velocity maximum. Try put some bass traps there and see if your sim gives a reasonably corresponding response.
