RECOMMENDED WORKFLOW
Pending the official and definitive simulation software, RCF recommends the use of HDL6 Shape Designer together with
Ease Focus 3. Because of the need of interaction between different software, the recommended workflow assumes the
following steps for every array in the final project:
- Shape Designer: audience and array setup. Calculation in “autosplay” mode of flybar tilt, cabinet and splays.
- Focus 3: reports here the angles, tilt of flybar and presets generated by Shape Designer.
- Shape Designer: manual modify of splay angles if the simulation in Focus 3 does not give satisfactory results in order to
check the safety factor.
- Focus 3: reports here the new angles and tilt of flybar generated by Shape Designer. Repeat the procedure until good
results are achieved.
The autosplay algorithm was developed for optimum coverage of the audience size. The use of this function is
recommended for the optimization of the array aiming. A recursive algorithm chooses for every cabinet the best angle
available in the mechanics.
