The modeling, simulation, and experimental verification of several MEMS devices are presented. Simulated results include 3D mode analysis, residual stress effects, thermal expansion, nonlinear deflections, time-varying electrostatic forces, process sensitivities, induced currents, and the transient performance in accelerated reference frames. To simulate the performance of these MEMS devices a modified nodal analysis approach is used to formulate a system of ODEs that is solved by static, steady state, and transient solvers. Index Terms - SUGAR, modified nodal analysis, static, steady state, transient, accelerating frames, sensitivity. 1
