Introduction

This is an introduction to COMSOL Multiphysics's MEMS module. You will learn how to build models for a range of MEMS devices including electrostatically actuated resonators, accelerometers, piezoelectric devices and thermal actuators.

Content Overview

This course covers the modeling of Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) using COMSOL Multiphysics's built in physics interfaces. This course will address the following areas of physics:
  • Structural Mechanics: small strain linear elastic, geometric nonlinear, frequency response, eigenvalue, and biased analyses.
  • Structural Damping: Thin Film Damping, Rayleigh Damping, etc.
  • Electromechanics: The coupling of electrostatics and Solid Mechanics to compute the deformation of electrostatically actuated structures.
  • Piezoelectric Devices: Devices that deform structurally under an applied electric field. Linear and frequency response analyses.
  • Joule Heating and Thermal Expansion: Thermal actuators and thermal drift modeling.
  • Coupling Device models to Electrical Circuit Models
  • Solvers, Visualization, and Post-Processing

Suggested Background

This course assumes some familiarity with the basics of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems. We strongly recommend that those new to COMSOL Multiphysics take the COMSOL Multiphysics Intensive Training course prior to attending this class.

Cancellation Policy

Please note that your seat in the course can not be confirmed until payment or a formal purchase order have been received.

Instructor-led training tuition is fully refundable if we receive written notification (via mail or e-mail) of cancellation on or before seven business days prior to the class. Cancellations made less than seven business days prior to class will be charged 25 percent of the course tuition fee. If you fail to show up to class without written notice, you will be charged the full tuition. You may send a substitute in your place to avoid a fee.

If a training course cannot take place as scheduled due to circumstances beyond COMSOL's control, we will issue a full refund for the amount that you have already paid.
