CadnaB is the software to calculate airborne and impact sound transmission between rooms for an entire building including airborne sound transmission from and to the exterior. CadnaB also connects to CadnaA and/or CadnaR for extended transmission calculations.
CadnaB is the software to calculate airborne and impact sound transmission between rooms for an entire building including airborne sound transmission from and to the exterior.
CadnaB is the software to calculate airborne and impact sound transmission between rooms for an entire building. CadnaB features a comprehensive user interface allowing the direct modelling of an entire multi-storey building from scratch. It also imports full Bastian projects. CadnaB can be connected to CadnaA and/or CadnaR for an extended transmission calculation from the outside to the inside and vice versa. Take advantage of modern tools for displaying results with the purpose of presentation and further analysis. CadnaB also creates full reports in Microsoft Word format.
CadnaB features:
This license uses a hardware USB dongle and is intended for individual users on a single machine.
Sharing of this license between multiple users allows for only one user at a time, as it requires handing over the hardware USB dongle.
This license uses a server hardware USB dongle to manage licenses centrally within a local network, allowing multiple users to share the license as long as the total number of concurrent users does not exceed the purchased license count. This type of licensing provides more flexibility for teams and organizations, though it requires the customer to set up and maintain the on-premise license server.
This license is the most flexible option. It eliminates the need for a hardware USB dongle and on-premise licensing infrastructure, as the licenses are managed through the DataKustik Cloud License Server. This model also simplifies remote access and home office setups, as no VPN or other local network configurations are required. A stable and permanent internet connection is required.
The monthly subscription offers the flexibility to add individual options to an existing product under subscription on a monthly basis. Cloud licensing is the only available licensing type.
The annual subscription is offered with either automatic renewal or as a fixed term. In the case of automatic renewal, the term shall be extended by a further 12 months if the contract is not terminated in writing no later than 60 days before the end of the respective term.
The perpetual license is a one-time purchase price for the software with single-user licensing at the latest software version available at the time of purchase.
Interoperability with CadnaA and CadnaR for calculations according to ISO 12354:
Complete link between CadnaA, CadnaB and CadnaR to ensure seamless calculation of noise transmission from outdoor to indoor and from indoor to outdoor.
Interoperability with CadnaA and CadnaR for calculations according to DIN 4109:
The geometries of the CadnaB building model can be seamlessly synchronized with CadnaA. In addition, facade levels can be directly transferred from CadnaA to CadnaB.
Interoperability with CadnaR:
Room-to-room transmission calculations between CadnaR room acoustics models enable the determination of interior sound levels based on sound sources in adjacent rooms–taking into account room feedback as well as the detailed composition of the building acoustic transmission scenario (ISO 12354). Furthermore, CadnaB can be used as a project management tool for CadnaR projects (ISO 12354 & DIN 4109).
