EMBLEM-Mecha
EMBLEM-Mecha is the dedicated part of this library for micro-sensor
(MEMS) which is also compatible with embedded systems.
Who needs EMBLEM-Mecha?
EMBLEM-Mecha integrates basic effects occurring in and between
electromechanical structures. It allows you to model and simulate
any kind of MEMS (pressure sensor, gyroscope, accelerator...). Any
designer who integrates sensors in his design will see his productivity
increase. The designer of the Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems will
be able to simulate the whole systems: the mechanical part as well
as the electronic part. And so they can investigate the interaction
between both parts.
What is our delivery?
Currently, EMBLEM-Mecha is based on VHDL-AMS models of the
basic effects. The simulation of a mechanical system is obtained
by mixing these effects. Additionally to the models, we deliver symbols
of these effects for Cohesion Hierarchical Design system.
What can customers do with
EMBLEM-Mecha?
Any kind of complex sensor can be easily modeled
and optimized with EMBLEM-Mecha's basic effects. Capacitive
Pressure Sensors (CPS), gyroscopes,
accelerators are some of the MEMS that users can design.
For instance, a comb drive combines three different
effects (attraction, capacity and damping effects). |

What are basic effects?
EMBLEM-Mecha proposes six basic effects, applicable in three dimensions
(3-D).
- Coriolis effects
- Inertion effects
- Attraction effects
- Capacity effects
- Bending/torque effects
- Damping effects
These effects are transformed into analytical equations, such as
example 1 for torque effects.
