Abstract:	Software tools for Mixed-Level Coupled Simulations have been developed. The system-level simulation uses the circuit theory approach, where each element of the system is modeled either through mathematical equation, or through coupling with physical-level 3D simulation. The physical-level simulation solves numerically partial differential equations for those elements. As a system-level simulator, SABER is used, and for the physical 3D simulation, CFD-ACE+ multi-physics solver from CFDRC is used. The coupling communication has been realized using CORBA and additional templates in MAST and C++. The respective SABER and CFD-ACE+ modules can be run on the same or separate computers. Application examples are presented in the paper for electronic packaging, microfluidic system, PCR control, and VCSEL array.
