Stardraw / ADA Announce Strategic Partnership
Software providers Stardraw.com and acoustical modelling specialists Acoustic
Design Ahnert (ADA) and its sister company Software Design Ahnert (SDA) have
announced a strategic partnership which will offer their customers an interface
between Stardraw's design and documentation applications and the acoustical
modelling software EASE (Enhanced Acoustic Simulator for Engineers).
The first manifestation of this collaboration will be a web-based ceiling
loudspeaker layout tool. Systems integrators needing to plan the distribution
of ceiling speakers within any given space for optimum coverage will be able to
do so within Stardraw.net. For example, begin by loading an AutoCAD floorplan
in DWG format, then specify the area you wish to cover and select your loudspeakers
from Stardraw's library. After defining simple coverage criteria such as ceiling
height, listening height, loudspeaker configuration etc., Stardraw will then
calculate how many speakers are required and where they should be placed. At
this point a single click of the mouse delivers your data to EASE which analyses
your drawing and returns the acoustical model of your design instantaneously.
Stardraw CEO David Snipp is looking forward to the opportunities that will be
created by the collaboration between two industry-leading software providers. “Both
Stardraw and ADA/SDA are the acknowledged leaders in our respective fields which,
although different, are clearly related, so I'm very excited by the synergy that we
are able to create using web-based technology. It is the most efficient and elegant
way to optimize and combine our respective strengths and opens the door to even more
powerful applications in the future.”
SDA CEO Stefan Feistel agrees. “We are essentially approaching the same issues
but from completely different points of view. Stardraw's strengths lie in flat room
planning and accessible software solutions, whereas our forte is in architectural and
acoustical modelling and simulation. The opportunity to combine the two approaches
in an easy-to-use web-based hybrid application opens up new markets for us both while
offering the customer an even more effective tool for his system designs.”
