| Abstract: | We present an approach to the design of electrostatically-actuated micro-structures and discuss its implementation in a software tool called IDEA. The main advantage of this approach is that it considerably reduces problems associated to coupling and to large-displacement non-linearities. The results obtained with IDEA are then compared with ANSYS simulations of an electrostatic micro-mirror. |
