Sumario:The development of a MATLAB® application is presented, which has the finality to simplify the process of calculation and selection of NiTi (Nickel-Titanium) wires, for their implementation as power generation elements in electromechanical actuators, in addition to approximate the thermal response for their operating conditions. The program algorithm development integrates multiple subfunctions created based on mechanical, thermal and thermoelectric modeling for NiTi wires. The effectiveness of the program in calculating the diameter, length and parameters such as the required deformation force is verified by comparing the results obtained with the values recommended by NiTi wire manufacturer.
