Salzburg's Great Festival House Undergoes Acoustic Renovation

A digital twin of the Salzburgarena helped engineers optimize the renovation of its acoustic system.

The renovation of Salzburg's Great Festival House, a popular music venue, has been underway since 2022. To ensure the project's success, engineers created a digital twin of the arena, allowing them to test and refine the acoustic system in a simulated environment. The digital twin was used to optimize the placement of sound-absorbing materials and the design of the acoustic panels.

The digital twin was created using specialized software that modeled the arena's geometry and acoustic properties. Engineers used the twin to run simulations and test different scenarios, reducing the need for physical prototypes and minimizing the risk of errors.

The renovation is expected to be completed in 2024, and the digital twin played a crucial role in ensuring that the new acoustic system meets the high standards of the venue.
