MICROSONICS
The finite element method (FEM) is very suitable for structural simulation, specially when the structure is vibrating in vacuum. When the vibrating structure is submerge in an unbounded (fluid, elastic or piezoelectric solids) medium, the radiating conditions have to be taken in to account. The boundary element method (BEM) is very suitable for unbounded medium, because the radiating conditions are exact. It is often use to complete of the finite element method.
Microsonics is FEM-BEM coupling tool, which is fully compatible to Ansys (FEM software package), and is accessible in ANSYS environment. It is a BEM solver which cover a wide physics area:
Radiation and propagation in fluid medium (acoustic), Radiation and propagation in isotropic / anisotropic solid medium, Radiation and propagation in piezoelectric medium.
Moreover, the user can define is own Green function.

Operating principle
Microsonics is fully integrated into Ansys. Because, Microsonics input data are automatically extracted from finite elements data, using macros. Thus, Microsonics can be run in Ansys user inteface. The computation will create a impedance matrix, and write it in a Ansysbinary file (*.sub file format). The *.sub files were introduced by Ansys in order to alloy the user to interface with Ansyscalulation. Thus, there is no interference between Ansys source code and Microsonics. Note that, new Ansysversion will read previous Ansys *.sub file.

Thus, for Ansys user Microsonics can be easily used. It requires only the training to learn how to used a couple of additional APDL command. Several coupling FEM-BEM can be activated in the same calculation, this is very suitable for medical probe simulation.

Competition advantages
Microsonics is add-on module fully integrated into Ansys. In consequence, there is no waste of time and no risk of data error during the transfer. An external BEM code, which will need his own pre and post processing is not necessary. Microsonics use ANSYS pre and post processing thus the global cost of the FEM-BEM solution is reduced.
Microsonics FEM-BEM coupling in ANSYS covers a great number application.
User Green function can be integrate and use in Ansys.
Ansys-Microsonics coupling is the only tool which alloy FEM-BEM multicoupling. Multicoupling is very suitable for medical probe device (one coupling for the backing or substrate and one for the fluid) and for RF-filter (one coupling on each resonator).
Microsonics is pioneer in modeling of acoustic MEMS devices (Bulk Acoustic Wave, RF-MEMS) radiating in the substrate. Thus is enable to estimate correctly the quality factor.
