Abstract :
This paper presents an approach to facilitate the design of a microbolometer. It is based on three main steps: the construction of a simplified model in Matlab, automatic transfer of the generated model into ANSYS and the verification of the model using ANSYS FEM (Finite Element Method) simulation. The novel idea is the second step, realized using a special application, which reads the parameters from the simplified model and automatically creates a batch file for ANSYS with all appropriate material and geometry data as well as loads and simulation parameters.
