What is the best CAD tool that could be used for layout and simulation for nanowires

[naltaradeh]

Dear My Friends;

I'm proud to be a member in this esteem forum.

I'm working on a project to model and characterize the Nano Generators based on NEMS could any one please help me to find the best software for design and simulate the Nanogenerators or Nanowires.

Your assistant ship is fully appreciated.

Many Regards

Nedal

COMSOL is a cost effective multiple physics simulator.

You can try matlab also.

And libmesh, petsc and etc for coding. Enjoy the fun!

Dear My Friend Li Yisuo
You are the best.
I will fly with COMSOL to build and simulate my model.
Thank You in advance.

Comsol used to require large amounts of memory (at least 12GB to be safe) to not crash on medium to large complexity models. I used ANSYS w/o such memory constraints, but ANSYS could be more expensive. You could try an open source software (https://www.csc.fi/web/elmer), but I have no experience with them.

Good luck

Enio

Dear My Friend Enio Carpi ;
Thank you in advance for your advice.
I will get ANSYS and try it.
Thanks in advance.

Tanner EDA also offers MEMS tools for layout and layout generation.
