I know you can use Saber to do the same thing. Mix electrical and mechanical
components.
-You can add as many domains as you like (thermal, etc...).

-From my experience though,, you are definitely correct. In fact, I believe
other A-HDL languages and simulators will run much faster than Saber.

Subject: Re: [mems-talk] Need Information about Actuator Simulation


You can also use other analaog HDL languages, such as VHDL-AMS.
More informations at http://www.vhdl-ams.com. The main advantage is
that you can easily integrate a model of your control electronic, and
simulate the behaviour of the whole system.

Can you tell more about the kind of actuator you are simulating ?

has anybody used the coventor/saber link to co-simulate a MEMS
together with a SPICE or VHDL model of its control electronique ?
