This Master Class is a deep dive into the world of acoustically excited vibration testing. Theoretical presentations will be supported by live demonstrations of DFAN tests on a real structural model surrounded by 
an impressive tower of powerful loudspeakers. The DFAN master class is designed for the space, aviation, and defense testing community eager to expand their knowledge of acoustic testing and simulation        

Experts in direct field acoustic testing, together with the specialist in control and structural dynamics analysis 
software and hardware from Siemens will be there to coach and guide. Course participants will directly apply knowledge acquired throughout the course during hands-on learning experiences by performing tests on 
a scaled spacecraft model. Working in instructor-led small groups, participants in this workshop will be guided through physical tests and be advised on methods and best practices. 

The DFAN Master Class also aims to expand participants’ professional network and create an inspiring space where innovation happens. Meet professionals who share your interests and exchange testing experiences, insights and best practicests.  Leading experts on Direct Field Acoustic Noise testing will present an 
integrated approach to handling test preparation, test risk mitigation using digital twins, setup validation, test execution, test validation and result extraction to ensure safe and efficient acoustic testing environments  Hands-on learning opportunities will be available during the class, allowing participants to plan, set-up, and run tests by applying the methodologies discussed. Real-life application examples will be shared and demonstrated, providing practical insights into the implementation of advanced techniques for Space, Aviation and Defense industries.
