Method and apparatus generating analysis mesh data, and computer product
First Claim
1. An analysis mesh data generating apparatus that generates analysis mesh data required for element division in a numerical analysis, analysis mesh data including at least shape data that indicates the shape of an object, the apparatus comprising:
- a shape characteristic extracting unit that extracts data representing predetermined characteristics shape from the shape data of the object; and
an analysis mesh data generating unit that specifies different pieces of structure information according to shapes represented by the data extracted by the shape characteristic extracting unit, and combines the specified pieces of structure information so as to generate the analysis mesh data.

Abstract
A shape characteristic extractor decomposes and extracts typical shapes where element division is easy from shape data that indicates the shape of an object. An analysis mesh data generator generates analysis mesh data (element dividing information) for each of the decomposed and extracted shapes. Thus, the element dividing information can be generated even if the object has a complicated shape. Moreover, the element dividing information can be generated accurately and speedily.
