MEMS Simulation with EMWorks

Design, analyze, and optimize MEMS sensors and actuators.

How Can Electrostatic Comb-Drive Actuators Be Optimized?

This example models a PolySilicon comb-drive actuator in EMAG, applying fixed voltages and structural constraints to compute electrostatic force, displacement and spring restoring force for validating MEMS actuator performance.

How Does the MEMS Micro-Gripper Perform in Micro-Object Manipulation?

This case study models an electro-thermal MEMS micro-gripper in EMWorks, using coupled electrical, thermal, and structural simulation to predict temperature rise in the hot arm and tip displacement under low DC voltage.

Effectiveness of Low-Voltage Micro-Thermal Actuators in Generating Deflections

This case study uses EMWorks to simulate a low-voltage polysilicon MEMS thermal actuator. A coupled electrical–thermal–structural model predicts temperature rise in the hot arm and resulting tip deflection, matching published reference results.

How Does Electrostatic Actuation Affect the Displacement of a MEMS Microsensing Membrane?

This example uses EMWorks to model a MEMS microsensing membrane formed by two square electrodes and serpentine springs. The electrostatic–structural simulation predicts membrane deflection versus applied DC voltage and validates the results against reference data.

Do MMMS-based micro-actuators enhance tactile experiences?

This note shows how EMWorks simulates a 4×4 magnetic micro-actuator array with PDMS membranes, micromagnets, and coils to predict actuation force and tip deflection for tactile haptic feedback.

Electro-Thermal Dynamics in MEMS with V-Beam Actuators

EMWorks simulates a MEMS V-beam thermal actuator using coupled electrical, thermal, and structural analysis to predict resistance, temperature distribution, and shuttle deflection under DC excitation.
