I am using WinISD to run box alignment sims for different woofers and it's not going so smoothly. I add drivers parameters (for drivers not in the db) and I always get integrity problems even though I copy them off the manufacturers data sheet. Is there an easier program to use?
You're aware that some of the TS parameters are automatically calculated, and don't need to be entered in the new driver dialog box.

Right, too many times various specs are rounded off, so from these formulas combined with WinISD's accuracy there's lots of ways to get it to either 'lock up' or calc some truly weird specs.
WinISD Pro Tutorial hopefully still relevant enough.
Downloadable WinISD Pro Files for older drivers! A pity today's users rarely add to it. 🙁

I go to http://www.loudspeakerdatabase.com and find my driver
each page has a download for the TS parameters in WinISD format
(and downloads for many other box design apps too)

I no longer have the list of ones with errors that I emailed about to no avail and didn't bother to list some more before giving up, so can only say 'caveat emptor' applies in my experience. 🙁
WinIsd has its ups and downs but it is a reason I eventually liked the sum check /integrity function.
You can cross calculate unknown parameters for certain drivers, or be sure your not
using wrong parameters all together.
Eventually over time when you understand what the parameters are.
It wont be a issue.
This is a very common issue with many being new to the program.
Also part of the learning curve. Not only speaker simulation , but
understanding electrical and mechanical aspects of drivers
and how they relate.
It helps to enter parameters and only certain parameters in certain orders.
then let the others cross calculate.
Then you wont get errors.
Suggested order for parameters.
Thiele / Small.
1) Qes
2) Qms
3) Fs
4) Vas
5) Qts =will auto calculate, dont enter
Electro Mechanical.
1) Re
2) Sd
3) Le
4) Mms , Cms, Rms , BL= will auto calculate, dont enter
Large Signal.
large signal will not cause conflictions.
enter Xmax and RMS Thermal Rating or Pe in watts
