On the simulation of molded micro components and systems

Regarding micro components and systems, experimental work for characterizing materials’ properties as well as components’ and systems’ behaviors have to be supplemented by numerical analyses. These analyses should cover component and system issues. On a component level, macroscopic approaches are extended by methods allowing consideration of the influence of components’ grain structures including possible defects. On a system level, the high tolerances accepted for the individual components due to production inaccuracy and their effects on the expected load distribution capability of the system are taken into account. This paper presents approaches for simulation of micro components and systems using the finite element method and multi body simulation. Methods to overcome the abovementioned issues will be shown, as well as the effects of grain structure on the stress distribution in the individual components.
