Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method of designing and simulating Micro Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) devices, comprising: receiving a user input selecting a plurality of parameterized components from a MEMS component library, each of the parameterized components being parametric and associated with a behavioral model; assembling a new parameterized MEMS device model in a three-dimensional (3-D) graphical view generated by a 3-D MEMS design environment, by connecting, in response to user commands, representations of the selected parameterized components in the 3-D graphical view, the assembling automatically creating the new parameterized MEMS device model using the behavioral models of the selected components and data indicating how the representations of the components are connected in the 3-D graphical view; exporting a symbol representing the new parameterized MEMS device model from the 3-D MEMS design environment into a system modeling environment; and automatically providing the behavioral models associated with the parameterized components of the new parameterized MEMS device model to a circuit simulator for evaluation during simulations or co-simulations of the system.
