Modelling and simulation of multi-physics and nonlinear problems in MEMS
Over the years we have developed various tools for the modelling and simulation of complex problems in the world of Microsystems.
Our expertise goes from the use of commercial codes for multi-physics and nonlinear modelling and simulation to the formulation of ad hoc innovative algorithms and development of relevant simulation codes.
Typical approaches are the Finite Element Method, The Boundary Element Method and advanced techniques for the reduction of computing time based on Domain Decomposition and Model Order Reduction. Optimization algorithms are also used and developed for applications in Microsystems.
