Invitation for free short course on environmental noise modelling and prediction with optional iNoise hands-on session.

This short course gives insight in the world of environmental noise modelling and prediction. Attendees can expect an up to date and realistic view on this topic from an acoustic consultant who became involved in the implementation of noise calculation methods in software.

Attendees can expect an up to date and realistic view on this topic from an acoustic consultant who became involved in the implementation of noise calculation methods in software. The short course includes an optional hands-on session using the iNoise software. Attendees are requested to bring their laptops for the hands-on session. An external mouse is recommended. The iNoise software, including a 2-week trial license of iNoise Pro, will be installed on the laptops by the instructor shortly before the hands-on starts. For those who want to install the software up front can send an email to Erwin Hartog van Banda (ha@dgmr.nl).

iNoise has been received very well. There are now already hundreds of registered licenses, and that in such a short time! Although iNoise is seen as a ‘new kid on the block’, the user friendly and intuitive DGMR-GUI for environmental modelling is in use for more than 20 years now. The DGMR-GUI is the centre of the Windows development platform of DGMR since 1995 and has been implemented in numerous software applications.

DGMR Software will exhibit this year at Acoustics Week 2017 in Canada and Acoustics 2017 in Australia. This will be a good opportunity to talk to the developers face to face! We intent to also organise a free iNoise workshop during both events. In case you are interested in participating in the workshop please let us know by sending an email to Erwin at ha@dgmr.nl

With the iNoise menu option ‘View | Background Maps’ you can add multiple GIS, CAD and Image (bitmap) files as Background map layers underneath your model. iNoise automatically recognises georeferenced image files that include a separate World file. Such georeferenced image files can be purchased or can be created with GIS software. However calibrating an image file yourself is not difficult at all and can be done within minutes by using Google Earth. Learn how to, simply by watching instruction video 6 on our website: https://dgmrsoftware.com/products/inoise/gallery/

Thanks to a post on LinkedIn you can now import height lines from ELVIS in iNoise! ELVIS is the Elevation Information System of the Australian government. Click here to see how it works: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/import-elvis-inoise-toby-dudman/

July 24^th till July 26^th DGMR Software exhibited at ICSV24 As iNoise is the new quality assured ‘kid on the block’ there was a broad amount of interest. We were very pleased with the number of new registrations and all the positive remarks, especially from users of competitive software. We also presented our paper on quality assured software implementation of ISO 9613 in iNoise. The new QA standard ISO/TR 17534-3 strongly reduces the possibilities of different interpretations of ISO 9613. Without the quality recommendations, differences can be up to 16 dB! With the recommendations, the differences are within 0.1 dB.

On 1 may 2017 we released iNoise, our new software for industrial noise calculations.

iNoise is quality assured Windows software based on the ISO 9613 calculation method. The intuitive modelling and calculation capacities can handle any industrial noise project including wind turbines, petrochemical sites and harbour areas. iNoise is available in 3 configurations; Free, Pro and Enterprise.

On 1 February 2017 we released the latest version of our NoiseAtWork software.

Changes in V5.00

New features

• Multiple indicators
  It is now possible to customise the measurement indicator settings.
  In this way you can add and manage measurements for multiple occupational and/or environmental factors or scenarios in one project.
• Self-training
  Training material is now included in the software
• Display
  Added toolbar buttons to toggle the display on or off of various elements in the model
• New free app NoiseAtWork Companion
  NoiseAtWork Companion is an application for digitizing measurement locations of any type of indicator on a digital map. The application can be used on an android device, e.g. a tablet or a phone. NoiseAtWork Companion replaces the traditional clipboard and paper map. The output of NoiseAtWork Companion can be imported directly in the NoiseAtWork software. You can download the app in the google play store.

On 12 July 2016 we released the latest version of our NoiseAtWork software.

Changes in V4.11

Solved issues

• Loading contour definitions from a file did not correctly force the contours to be recalculated which meant that contours displayed were according to the old definition.
• License activation – activating a license when a previous time limited had expired would not always work and displayed incorrectly in the information screen. This was often the case with temporary test/demo licenses.
• License deactivation – deactivating licenses would also attempt to deactivate expired licenses which generated error messages

May 23 till May 25 DGMR Software exhibited at AIHce. For us it was the first time. For AIHce it was also the first time to receive an exhibitor from The Netherlands! It was a very successful event. Our booth attracted a lot of attention and we made contact with many new potential users of our software. They all saw the benefit of the NoiseAtWork and MapAtWork software when creating interpolated maps based on measurements. What we heard most is that by using our software there is no need any more to outsource the creation of measurement maps to a CAD department because now the industrial hygienist can do it herself/himself with just a couple of clicks. This saves time and money. So it might very well be that we will exhibit next year also at AIHce in Seattle.

On 22 February 2016 we released the latest version of our NoiseAtWork software.

Changes in V4.10

New features

• Model views
  Added to the zoom controls is the option to save model views. These views can be used for printing. In this way you can ensure that future printouts have the same part of a model in view.

Printing

• Scale bar has been added to printout legend
• Multiple model views can be printed out at once
• Printing to PDF resolution of model and contours increased

Map Companion, the digital clipboard for industrial hygienists

Thursday May 7, 2015

Today DGMR Software released Map Companion, a new tablet/phone app for visualization of any type of occupational health measurement in workspaces on a digital map. This tool helps occupational health professionals with their surveys of working environments. Map Companion replaces the traditional clipboard and paper map. This speeds up the measurement process. The information gathered with the app can be used directly in the existing mapping and interpolation software MapAtWork, making reporting of measurements and interpolated contours quick and efficient.

The app is free and can be downloaded from Google Play Store
