I. Introduction
The Energy Finite Element Analysis (EFEA) and Energy Boundary Element Analysis(EBEA) provides a powerful solution for high frequency acoustics. In contrast totraditional FEA solvers that use displacements as the primary variables, the EFEAmethods use energy based variables which enables noise and vibration simulations atmuch higher frequencies than those attained by conventional FEA analysis. The EBEAsolution provides airborne noise loads for use by the EFEA solution. The combination of EBEA and EFEA methods can be used to predict the interior noise levels in a vehicle dueto exterior acoustic sources. These new solvers are provided through collaboration withMichigan Engineering Services and are provided as a pre-release in MD Nastran 2010.The EFEA (Energy Finite Element Analysis) program requires a single input data filewhich contains all the required data for the analysis. The order in which the informationis contained in the data file is not important.Solid finite elements are used for modeling interior acoustic spaces. If the model doesnot contain any interior acoustic medium (i.e. only a structural vibration analysis isperformed), then Sections 3 – 5 do not exist in the data file. A Pre-EFEA code is utilizedfor generating the EFEA input data file from the finite element model. The followingprocedure must be followed when generating the EFEA input data file.
Step 1 – Create the conventional FEA model using a pre-processing software.
 
Use ageneral purpose pre-processor for creating the finite element model. Themodel is created just like a conventional finite element model is created, butwithout considering the rule of having 6 linear elements per wavelength. Thesize of each element can be large, as long as the model captures the maingeometric characteristics of the physical system it models. A single modelmust contain all structural and acoustic elements. Each structural node andelement, and each acoustic node and element must have a unique ID number.Different material properties should be indicated through a different property
