Transmitter position/ possible request #102

Closed tomwebber96 closed 3 months ago

tomwebber96 commented 3 months ago

I am trying to simulate a mobile sound source in some complex bathymetry with a fixed position of an acoustic recorder. I wondered if it were at all possible to change the tx_range, rather than having it at zero and having to adjust the rx_range and redefine the bathymetry for each run of the simulation?

The default BELLHOP setup is for transmitter at origin. arlpy currently only wraps BELLHOP and so provides the same coordinate system. While it would be possible for arlpy to shift the bathymetry for a different coordinate origin, that isn't implemented at present. It should be easy enough for a user to do, so while it would add convenience, this isn't a roadblock for any use of the package today.
