  1. MEMS Summer 2007 FEM of MEMS on ANSYS • Why FEM for MEMS? • Features in ANSYS • Basic Procedures • Examples ANSYS for MEMS by Manjula

  2. MEMS Summer 2007 Purpose of FEA • Make development cycle short and cost effective • To understand behaviors, limits and interactions of complex processes • To optimize designs • For failure analysis ANSYS for MEMS by Manjula

  3. MEMS Summer 2007 ANSYS Environment • Has GUI and Coded (for Batch Mode) command interfaces • Enable to both creation and importing of models • Capable of Linear and Non-linear analysis on the phenomena of Structural, Thermal, Electromagnetic, Electrostatics, Fluid, etc. • Ability to simulate Coupled-field behaviors. ANSYS for MEMS by Manjula

  4. MEMS Summer 2007 Processors • Start with Begin level – Job name, File name, etc • Preprocessor – Model creation • Solution Processor - Apply Loads and Solving • Postprocessors - Analyzing Results ANSYS for MEMS by Manjula

  5. MEMS Summer 2007 GUI vs Codes • Advantage of Repetition and parametric design with codes • Easy to follow and to visualize with GUI • Over 1200 commands with specific syntaxes for codes • Helpfile for each command on codes • Batch mode execution by codes ANSYS for MEMS by Manjula

  6. MEMS Summer 2007 Model Creation • Import or Create • To create - Keypoints, lines, areas and volumes • Material properties and real constants • Element type and Meshing ANSYS for MEMS by Manjula

  7. MEMS Summer 2007 Units ANSYS for MEMS by Manjula

  8. MEMS Summer 2007 Applying Loads • Boundary Conditions • Various Types of Loads • Structural displacements, forces, pressures, temperatures (for thermal strain), gravity • Thermaltemperatures, heat flow rates, convections, internal heat generation, infinite surface • Electrical electric potentials (voltage), electric current, electric charges, charge densities, infinite surface • Fluidsvelocities, pressures • Magnetic potentials, magnetic flux, magnetic current segments, source current density, infinite surface • Can apply loads in Steps ANSYS for MEMS by Manjula

  9. MEMS Summer 2007 Solution and View Results • Specify analysis type and solve • Post1 is used to review results from static or steady state problems • Post26 is used to review results from transient problems. • Reading results by… • By Sets • Load Step (LS) • Time/frequency ANSYS for MEMS by Manjula

  10. MEMS Summer 2007 Example • Let’s follow Multiphysics Analysis of a Thermal Actuator in Ansys Tutorial ANSYS for MEMS by Manjula
