Ahh ok maybe this is the confusion as it's new version I have. So then my understanding of that function may be correct.

In which case how does hornresp know what segment of the horn the port terminates, surely it's going to have an effect.

Ap1 into segment S2 for offset driver OD https://s29.postimg.org/z3v4hcs87/1st_post.png
For Nd into S1.
Rear Ap where is S5. Later in SPL (acoustical power) you can specify distance(tools>>combined response) between S5 and end of a port. It may changed in new version though

Oh ok. So with that you are able to simulate a port from driver to s1/s2 but at the same time loose the option to sim a vent in the rear chamber. That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I'd have thought that kind of port into the throat could be simmed using vtc/atc to the same effect.

Must confess I am not very good at keeping up with the newest version and features of HR. Didn't know this option was in it now. Impressive updating.

' |Horn-Loaded Vented-Box Enclosure With Port Exit Located Inside Horn Mouth
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 Select the tapped horn option and set Vrc, Lrc, Ap and Lpt > 0.
 
 Set L12 = 0.01 cm if the driver is not offset.'

Here I have adjusted one of my attempts to hopefully make it clearer, I'm not getting accurate simmed results compared to measured results but I think this is the way that David intended it to be done.

I first used the wizard in the drop down 'help' menu and chose tapped horn with rear chamber and 3 segments.

Great info. Thanks. Be interesting to hear if anyone gets any results with it.

Not sure what you mean about the wrong data, is that a pic from another thread?

Hi there, I thought it's about time I start learning how to simulate horn response. Getting on quite well with it and now like to understand how using the ported throats works geometry wise. If the port vents into a horn throat does the length of the port include the remaining length to front of the horn its vented into or not. Or in that scenario does the port then become a tapered port?

TIA

My cabs are ported at the throat, sims suggest the port length and area would be at 65Hz if it was a traditional reflex cab, but with having the full length of the horn attached, the tuning drops to 32Hz.
On my cabs the port area is smaller than the throat area and is a hole cut in 18mm plywood.
The problem with the hornresponse sims is that if I model the cab, it still gives a tuning as though the horn is not acting as a duct.

Wrong data was on old versions of hornresp when Vrc was >0

The pic shows how to make ports at front and rear chamber in tapped horn.
