Abstract

The concept of a partial automated design optimization and its first application on the improvement of a micropump is described. Starting with an analog simu- lation model, described in the HDL-A language, parameters of this model are modified using evolutionary algorithms until an improved behaviour of the sys- tem is reached. As the quality of the optimization depends highly on the quality of the simulation model, we describe a concept for improving the analog simu- lation model by using FEM-simulation results and evolutionary algorithms. The described methode is applicable to optimize the design of various (micro)- systems. Our first application was the optimization of a thermo-pneum
