Uwe Marschner, Günther Pfeifer, Eric Starke · Proceedings SENSOR 2013 · 2013

The predetermination of the dynamic behavior of electromechanical systems is a challenging task because of the coupled physical domains and various transducer principles.An efficient design of such systems requires simulation methods which permit a simultaneous design-accompanying optimization, too.The combination of network methods and Finite Element methods on user level is a timeefficient method for the simulation of the dynamic behavior of electromechanical systems.In this paper the advantages and the efficiency of this Combined Simulation are demonstrated by hand of different examples in the light of different abstraction levels.The examples include the application of FEsimulations to determine network structures and parameters, as well as the inclusion of network elements and equivalent network structures in FE-models.
