Finite Element Based Reduced Order Modeling of Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS)

Ostergaard D.F., Gyimesi M., ANSYS, Inc., US

The paper demonstrates reduced order modeling (ROM) of the strongly coupled system level dynamic analysis of micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) by lumped finite elements (FE) and substructuring implemented in the ANSYS/Multiphysics program.

Hybrid P-Element and Trefftz Method for Capacitance Computation

Gyimesi M., Wang J-S., Ostergaard D.F., ANSYS, Inc., US

The paper discusses efficient electrostatic field solutions techniques to simulate micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS): adaptive p-elements to remove the burden of manual mesh refinement; hybrid finite elements - Trefftz formulation to treat open boundary [...]
