Abstract :
The operation of many mechatronical microdevices is significantly affected by viscous fluid damping effects. We present a methodology how these effects can be properly included in physically based microdevice and full system models for the effort-economizing and yet accurate predictive simulation of the operation of micro-mechatronical systems. The usability and quality of the approach is demonstrated by computational results for highly perforated microdevices.
