I've been trying to find a simulator for room

the software to be an impulse response, so that I can listen to
the predicted response, and some depiction of the standing waves
versus frequencies. Does anything like that exist for Linux?
For what it's worth, web searches lead me to some rudimentary
software to show room modes of rectangular box shaped rooms,
and there is a lot of theory out there too. But, the finished
"product" software seems scarce, or at least hard for me to find.
Thanks....

You might check into BRLcad, Sean Morrison responds to the forum
frequently. With this app you would be able to create a 3D model to any
degree of detail and make material assignments to all surfaces. Properties of
the materials can also be defined. Analysis can then be carried out. BRLcad
is also linkable separate FEA apps.
Hope this may be of use.
