Currently, microelectromechanical systems are widely used in technology. An important component of these systems is a microactuator converting an external action into mechanical motion. To determine the parameters of microactuators, a new design technique needs to be developed. The paper proposes a method of determining the parameters of discrete microactuators converting pressure into a prescribed displacement. A mathematical model as well as a numerical algorithm for the analysis of large displacements of flexible thin-walled structural elements is described. The algorithm was implemented in the software package developed by the authors and incorporated into the ANSYS software using the optimization PSE/MACROS code. The results of numerical synthesis of an actual structure are presented. The proposed design technique has proven its efficiency and can be recommended for designing a wide range of microelectromechanical devices.
