Hornresp? There's a definite learning curve with UI & workflow, so start with the wizards & docs! Once learned, this seems to be the tool used by the most experienced sub designers at DIYA, Data-bass, etc. Many programs sim basic sealed/BR/PR boxes. Hornresp goes the next few steps, adding support for varying expansion ratios, tapped horns...
If you're working on passive xovers, Jeff's PCD/Blender/ResponseModeler/Diffraction and BoundarySimulator suite does quite a bit. I would also suggest Xsim by Bill Waslo.
Xsim's one-axis only, right?Have been using XSim and do like it for crossover mods and prototyping.
On crossover page, look above the driver icon to find "Lib." That's the library of canned filters, both active & passive....if VituixCAD had some canned passive filters, not sure I would need XSim much though.
Thanks! Tried both PCD and WinPCD but not sure how they compare to VituixCAD.
I believe that there’s quite a a lot of experience in using hornresp over at diyaudio.com and the developer still posts there:Will check it out thanks. Really sparse website, but gather it is freeware.
Features of VituixCAD are listed https://kimmosaunisto.net/Software/Software.html. I guess it's few times more than PCD and other Excel tools, WinPCD and XSim together. Main difference is simulation with quasi full space (dual plane) acoustical data vs. single axis which was dated decades ago.
Yep, the successor software is AKABAK.was ABEC discontinued? I'm having trouble finding it online. Or is it part of AKABAK?
Yep, the successor software is AKABAK.
Unfortunately the successor is not 100% backward compatible (at least the last time I checked), so my parameterized scripts don't work with it. So I continue to use the old version.

...Am preparing to direct Amir on how to bring the Klippel measurements for Directiva into VituixCAD. Is this simply using the import capability or would you suggest something else?
From day one Amir don't export as "VACS balloon format" but share per each review into post-1 two "txt-files" named "SPL Horizontal.txt" & "SPL Vertical.txt" that each covers 36 directivities per 10º steps, in short to get those two txt-files VituixCAD friendly 1) remove comma's 2) split the 36 per 10º step column's to 36 seperate txt-files named in a way VituixCAD can read.VituixCAD reads frequency responses exported from Klippel NFS in VACS balloon format...
@ctrl could you give us short breakdown on what VituixCAD is capable of simulating and when you need to use AKABAK (or other comparable software instead?
LOL was more expecting table saw and router and jig recommendations
