A Multivariate Analysis of Green Building Options

Kung P., Chen V.C.P., Robinson A., University of Texas at Arlington, US

Green building is based on the concept of sustainable development. In this paper, we utilized the software eQUEST in a computer experiments approach to study building options that potentially impact energy usage and cost metrics. [...]

Generation of a Metamodel for a Micromachined Accelerometer using T-SpiceTM and the Iz-Optimality Option of I-OPTTM

Lee H.J., Crary S.B., Affour B, Bernstein D., Gianchandani Y.B., Woodcock D.M., Maher M.A., MEMSCAP S.A., FR

We demonstrate a new method for dynamical parametric simulation of MEMS using IZ-optimal designs for FEA simulations, fitting using the best linear unbiased predictor, and extraction of relevant coefficients for solution of the appropriate ODE [...]

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 [...]
