Optimal Design of Computer Experiments for the Generation of Microsystem Macromodels Using IMSET and Non-Parametric Fitting

Crary S.B., Cousseau P., Armstrong D., Woodcock D.M., Dubochet O., Lerch P., Renaud Ph., University of Michigan, US

We present a new and unique software program, IMSET, capable of finding optimal designs for computer experiments. A finite-element simulation of a micro-machined flow sensor was used to illustrate macromodel generation and to compare the [...]

Complete Transient Simulations of Electrostatic Actuators

Cojocaru C., Lerch P., Kloeck B., Bourgeois C., Renaud Ph., EPFL, CH

A code for the dynamical simulation of electrostatic actuated micromechanical systems with complex 3D geometry was created. It allows exact electrical force computation at each time step during the dynamic analyses. A finite element method [...]
