The workflow

How Monte Carlo analysis works

1-Jan-09-2026-09-12-22-2863-AM
1. Define design and parameters

Select the key design variables and assign statistical distributions to represent real-world manufacturing or material variations.

FAQ

How are PMUT dimensions randomized in the analysis? Each key dimension is altered using a normal distribution, with the spread controlled by a coefficient of variation.
Can custom scripts be used in Quanscient Allsolve? Yes, existing Python scripts can be modified to include custom randomization or other specialized analysis features.
How long does a large simulation with Monte Carlo analysis take? For 1,000 PMUT variations with 380k DoF each, the total runtime was 15 minutes using 1,000 cores.
What KPIs can be measured in the simulations?

In this example, signal amplitude and signal arrival time are extracted to evaluate bandwidth, pulse width, device performance and yield.

Which dimensions most affect PMUT performance? In the example, the cavity’s x dimension had the strongest correlation and an 8x higher impact than the y dimension.
How is manufacturing yield evaluated? Pass/fail criteria are applied to KPIs, and histograms of results are used to estimate stability and yield.
