Modeling and Simulation of Airflow Omnibearing Posture Sensor

Abstract:

In order to improve the performance of sensor, Using ANSYS software, the three-dimensional finite element modelling method and simulation results of micromachined airflow omnibearing level posture sensor are presented. The results show that: (1)Using the sense organ’s symmetry characteristic, a half model is built first, which is convenient for modelling and observing the simulation results;(2) Gridding should be meshed more densely where fluid grads is large, which is helpful of saving simulation time and improving precision. Compared to two-dimensional modeling, the simulation results of three-dimensional modeling are more comprehensive and exact, which provides dependable basis for further research of the sensor.
