PennSyn 1.0 is implemented in Matlab 5.3
(release 11). It has an easy-to-use menu with help buttons for each step.
It generates compliant topologies, animates the resulting motion,
creates an IGES file of the solution, and stores the solution for later
use. Please send e-mail
if you are interested in PennSyn.
MemSim 0.91 is a work-in-progress
software for the geometric design of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems
(MEMS). It is a heterogeneous voxel-based geometric modeler implemented
in Matlab and has a GUI. The purpose of MemSim
is to enable MEMS designers to create models from masks and masks from
3-D models. Please send
e-mail if you are interested in MemSim0.91.
