Generative Methods

In this paper we review the current state of automated MEMS synthesis with a focus on generative methods. We use the design of a MEMS resonator as a case study and explore the role that geometric constraints and human interaction play in a computer-aided MEMS design system based on genetic algorithms.

Abstract As part of a strategy for obtaining preliminary design specifications from the House of Quality, genetic algorithms were used to generate and optimize preliminary design specifications for an automotive case study. This paper describes the House of Quality for the automotive case study. In addition, the genetic algorithm chosen, the genetic coding, the methods used for mutation and reproduction, and the fitness and penalty functions are descrobed. Methods for determining convergence are examined. Finally, test results show that the genetic algorithm produces reasonable preliminary design specifications.
