Abstract

In this paper, we describe the development of a web-enabled design platform for collaborative MEMS design. The proposed distributed module modeling and evaluation framework with a client-knowledge server architecture, KS-DMME, allows multi-users/designers in different locations to participate in the same design process. Under this framework, concurrent integrated MEMS design and simulation models can be built using both local and distributed resources, and the design collaboration can be realized by exchanging services between modules based upon a standard CORBA communication protocol. A prototype web-enabled design system, e-MEMS Designer (previously Web-MEMS Designer) is implemented through concurrent integration of multiple distributed and cooperative knowledge sources and software based on web service technologies. By use of the developed prototype system, MEMS design and simulation can be carried out in an integrated but open design environment on the web. A case study is provided for a microgripper design.Copyright © 2005 by ASME
