Розроблено VHDL-AMS модель електротеплового мікроактюатора для автоматизо- ваного проектування засобами hAMSter, що дає змогу моделювати залежність деформації (згину) плечей мікроактюатора від їх довжини і прикладеної напруги до анкерів, струму від прикладеної напруги і довжини плеча мікроактюатора, розподіл температури вздовж його плечей, енергоспоживання мікроактюатора від прикладеної напруги, а також проводити аналіз поведінки цього пристрою на функціонально-логічному рівні проектування.

An integral part of mechanical engineer workplace is a personal computer with specialized software, including CAD, which allows automating the work of engineering and technological preparation of production. One of the largest suppliers of CAD for mechanical engineering is a multinational company Autodesk. Therefore, for the students – future mechanical engineers – the ability to work with this company’s software is the key to their demand in the labor market.

The paper proposes a new model of software life cycle, which allows to improve the phase formation specification. This makes it possible to calculate the preliminary cost software development, reduce risk and to design stage vehicle to develop a prototype user interface and generate code.

The article presents an example of the usage of golden section search to select the comb length of MEMS el electro-actuator to get the desired displacement at a given voltage heating. The proposed solutions are implemented as software code in the ANSYS system.

Currently there exist a variety of techniques and technologies associated with passive construction, energy-efficient smart homes, the use of renewable energy sources. The task of modern architects is the creative and innovative search for new functional and aesthetic architectural solutions that are technically and technologically conditioned to guarantee its users a healthy and secure life in a friendly environment.
