Developed by Matelys, DBCell is a comprehensive material database tool focused on acoustic, elastic, and damping properties. It serves as a centralized platform for managing intrinsic properties, performance data, technical datasheets, and brochures of various materials. Key features include a contextual search tool, material properties selection, visualization of sound absorption and transmission spectra, and the ability to handle complementary specifications such as fire resistance, heat, humidity, and tearing. DBCell supports scripting requests and combined simulations, with export capabilities to various modeling tools using methods like Transfer Matrix Method (TMM), Finite Element Method (FEM), Radiosity, and Ray Tracing. The latest version, DBCell 6.0 (2024), introduces multi-layer system management, recommendations for appropriate predictive models, enhanced graphics, and management of uncertainties from measurements to simulations through envelopes. Additionally, the integrated MatAcDB provides access to a comprehensive set of data verified by Matelys, based on over 1,500 characterizations spanning 20 years of experience. This integration ensures regular updates and additions, enhancing the tool's reliability and relevance.
