“…With the additional input of the fluid forces, we simulated vibration propagation in the structure, using a finite element program, named NEXST-Impact, and output the vibration velocities at the pump's outer surface. Takano et al (2005) then used the velocity data to calculate noise emissions to the environment, using a commercial program called SYSNOISE. A data interface named MULTI-COUPLER was developed for transferring data among the three simulations.…”
