CMC is hosting a four-day online training course on CoventorMP and MEMS+. This training has 4 sessions (2 dedicated to CoventorWare and 2 to MEMS+) of 3 hours each, plus homework to complete before the next training session. These training sessions are scheduled for a range of time zones and are scheduled over 2 weeks to better serve our CNDN community. This course targets MEMS designers and aims to teach how to use CoventorMP and MEMS+ using a MEMS SiGe accelerometer. After this course, the attendees will be able to use CoventorWare to create a meshed model of a sensor and to use it to run electromechanical simulations. In addition, attendees will be able to use MEMS+ to create a fully parameterized model to run multi-physics simulations (mechanic, electrostatic, fluidic) at transducer, system, or ASIC level.
What You will Learn
- How to use CoventorWare: various editors (database, process, and layout).
- How to properly set up and mesh a model.
- How to run mechanical, electrostatic, and coupled physics analysis.
- How to use MEMS+: the various plugins, the various panes of each plugins, the application inputs, and outputs (plugin file extensions, GDS, export to FEA, and more),
- How to assemble a MEMS design in MEMS+ with educated choices of components and models from the MEMS+ Component Library,
- How to run basic and advanced simulations within MEMS+ and/or third-party tools (MathWorks and Cadence).
Target Attendees
The prime target attendees are MEMS designers and those who are interested in providing training and support for CoventorMP and MEMS+ to other users in their research group or institute.
Pre-requisites
- Knowledge of inertial MEMS sensors and basics of Finite Element Analysis.
