Generation of the HDL-A-model of a Micromembrane from its Finite-element-description

Abstract

A CAD-tool for the automated generation of behavioral models in HDL-A is presented. This CADtool has been implemented in the frame of a project for automatical modeling of microsystem components for the co-simulation with VHDL- or Spice-Models. Starting from the Finite-Element-description of a microcomponent a nonlinear behavioral HDL-Amodel is generated by successively adding or deleting effects to the HDL-A-model according to the observed differences between the two models. Using the example of a micromembrane the practicability of this approach will be demonstrated. This CAD-tool provides a method for decoupling the generation of behavioral models from the Finite-Element-simulation process. 1 Introduction Simulation of heterogeneous systems on the system level implies the simulation of the whole system and that of particular devices with a special emphasis on points of interest like functional behavior, timing, power consumption and so on. Simulation is very closely connected to m..
