Quanscient Allsolve

Production-level simulation platform for advanced MEMS design

Quanscient Allsolve was developed for accelerating the design and optimization of high-performance MEMS devices by providing accurate, scalable, and efficient multiphysics simulations.

As a production-level tool, Allsolve offers capabilities for running large design of experiments for product optimization in later design stages, as well as earlier exploratory simulations.

Accelerated design cycles and reduced reliance on physical prototypes

  • Powerful solvers and virtually unlimited computational resources
  • Test and validate design variations with faster speed and increased accuracy
  • Reduce the need for extensive physical prototyping

-> Shortened development timelines and faster time-to-market.

Visualization of MEMS simulation

Optimized design exploration

  • Access to extensive computational resources and faster simulation times
  • Explore a wider range of design possibilities within the same timeframe
  • More thorough optimization process

-> Designs that maximize yield, reliability, and performance.
