Select a best-of-breed field solver from the most comprehensive suite available to perform complex, fully-coupled, multi-domain physics simulations.
CoventorWare ANALYZER™ is more than a general-purpose Finite Element Analysis (FEA) package. It is loaded with MEMS-specific features that that will save you time and help you get accurate answers to design questions without having to become a simulation expert or master an arcane scripting language. Here are a few examples of MEMS design properties that are easy to investigate with ANALYZER’s MEMS solvers:
- Capacitance of multi-conductor devices
- Electrostatic actuation force, fully accounting for fringing fields
- Pull-in and lift-off voltage of electrostatically actuated devices
- Electrostatic “spring-softening” effects
- Gas damping including rarefaction effects
- Harmonic analysis of piezo-electrically actuated resonators
- Package deformation effects (due to ambient temperature or other external forces) on device performance
- Pre- and post-buckling analysis
- Optimal configuration of piezo-resistive (PZR) sensor elements
- Electro-thermal actuation
For more than 10 years, CoventorWare ANALYZER has been meeting the simulation needs of leading MEMS companies and research organizations. ANALYZER provides comprehensive coverage of MEMS physics, including:
