Hi,
Any good resources on the subject of acoustics in spaces that are not parallelograms?
Ive just found this website: The Boundary Element Method but wondered if anyone here was up-to-scratch of the subject?
Many thanks.

I think BEM is a bit of a large large bite to take from a standing start (admittedly mixing my metaphors greatly). I'd recommend looking at CARA (which, the last time I used it years ago, cost a little money). There may be other room acoustics codes available at reduced cost or increased functionality that I'm not aware of.
I'm not sure if you're talking about an irregular room shape based on a collection of flat surfaces or you're talking about curved surfaces. I'm not sure what CARA can handle nowadays.

Yeah, The Boundary Element Method, I started reading and it quickly got out of hand!
Its an irregular shaped room approx 4M x 7M with a three-sides-equal trapezium across one of the 4M ends; which adds a further 1.5M making the room 8.5M long.
Thanks for the reply and tip re. CARA.
