Dr. Akhil Vijay
Senior Applications Engineer
COMSOL
Host: Jon Candelaria
ABSTRACT
The foundation for successful MEMS component design is a deep understanding of the interactions between various physical phenomena at the microscale, including electrostatic, mechanical, piezoelectric, and electrothermal effects, and fluid–structure interaction. To get an accurate representation of these interactions in a model, engineers need multiphysics simulation software.
During the presentation, we will introduce you to the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, which is uniquely equipped for detailed modeling of MEMS devices. The presentation includes a live model demonstration and a Q&A session.
