An Australian Acoustical Society educational grant has sponsored the development of an interface between the Boundary Element code Helm3D and the numerical simulation pre/post processor GiD. Helm3D is a text driven three-dimensional BEM code written in Fortran, available with purchase of a relatively inexpensive book, and GiD, although a commercial product, has a limited node demo version freely available. A tutorial has been written that demonstrates the capability of BEM as well as teaches the fundamentals of acoustics in two application areas: interior acoustics and external acoustic radiation. It is envisaged that the availability of the interface and tutorial will accelerate the uptake of BEM by the wider acoustics community.
