Three-dimensional Helmholtz equation is one of the important differential equations in engineering. It appears in problems of acoustics, heat conduction and so on. If a domain has an arbitrary shape, the problems cannot be solved by the usual analytic procedure. On the other hand, approximate methods such as the finite element method are not necessarily sufficient for this purpose. This paper deals with a new method of analysis that is based on analytic solutions. In this method, boundary conditions are satisfied approximately at points located on surface of the domain. Eigenvalues and eigenmodes of some domains of revolution, an ellipsoid, a boxy domain and a frustum of pyramid are calculated as numerical examples. Results have good accuracy.
