Product / Compare Editions
Three editions share a common outdoor noise modelling environment. They differ in calculation methods, supported geometry, spatial data, analysis capabilities and permitted licence use.
Core outdoor modelling
ISO 9613-2:2024 with point and road sources, buildings, rigid barriers, receptors and contours.
Advanced outdoor modelling
Adds calculation methods, industrial sources, advanced 3D propagation, GIS, terrain and extended analysis.
Research and education
Vector-level acoustic modelling capability for higher education and research, subject to academic licence and output restrictions.

Academic Edition
dhwaniPRO Delta provides Vector-level acoustic modelling capability for higher education and research. Its licence includes five perpetual academic seats and restricts commercial consultancy use.
Academic licensing provides five non-expiring seats for the licensed software build.
Exported report maps, vector graphics and print outputs carry mandatory academic marking.
Commercial consultancy is not permitted. Google aerial integration and KMZ export are unavailable.
