9.5. Co-Design and Simulation Tools

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is co-design?

   Hint

   Think about how different components work together.

2. 2.

   Name a component of co-simulation.

   Hint

   Recall the tools we discussed.

3. 3.

   What is co-design?

   • Independent design
   • Collaborative design of mechanical and electronic parts
   • Design only for electronics

   Hint

   Think about teamwork in design.

4. 4.

   True or False: Behavioral modeling is used to create physical prototypes.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Remember what we said about virtual vs physical.

5. 5.

   Design a simple MEMS system using co-simulation tools. Outline the steps and tools you would use.

   Hint

   Consider the interactions between different parts of the system.

6. 6.

   Evaluate the impact of not using behavioral modeling when developing a MEMS product.

   Hint

   Think of potential issues in understanding system interactions.
