To achieve an efficient simulation of the dynamic behavior of electromechanical devices it is often necessary to use more than one simulation method or program. The main reason for this is that electromechanical systems contain different physical domains and transduction principles. In many cases a smart solution is the combination of network methods with finite element methods on user level which is referred to as combined simulation. This paper deals with one area of application of the combined simulation, which is the use of network methods to improve finite element models. After the description of the method the procedure is illustrated by the example of the model of a hearing aid.
