A tool for aided multi-scale model derivation and its application to the simulation of a micro mirror array

Abstract

Modeling the electric field in a matrix of micro-mirrors is presented as the first application of the MEMSALab software package. The latter is dedicated to semi-automated derivation of multiscale models by asymptotic methods and will complement simulation software as finite element software. It is designed according to a principle of reusability which is called the extension-combination method developed with techniques derived from the theory of rewriting.
