Abstract

An analysis device that analyzes an object with a predetermined shape is provided which includes a pre-positioned creation unit that creates a system including a plurality of particles, a region specifying unit that specifies a region with the predetermined shape in the system created by the pre-positioned creation unit as a system describing the object, and a numerical calculation unit that numerically calculates a governing equation governing motions of particles in the system describing the object.

Claims

1. An analysis device that analyzes an object with a predetermined shape, comprising:

a computer with a processor and a memory;

a pre-positioned creation unit that creates, using the processor, an ingot particle system, larger than a particle system describing the object, and including a plurality of particles, wherein a relaxation calculation is performed, using the processor, for the plurality of particles included in the ingot particle system;

a region specifying unit that specifies, using the processor, a region with the predetermined shape in the ingot particle system created by the pre-positioned creation unit as the particle system describing the object; and

a numerical calculation unit that numerically calculates, using the processor, a governing equation governing motions of particles in the particle system describing the object.

2. The analysis device according to claim 1, wherein the pre-positioned creation unit includes

a regular system creating unit that creates a system including a plurality of particles regularly arranged as the ingot particle system, and

a changing unit that changes the ingot particle system created by the regular system creating unit to the ingot particle system on which the relaxation calculation is performed, on the basis of the governing equation governing the motions of particles in the system, and

wherein the region specifying unit specifies the region with the predetermined shape in the ingot particle system changed by the changing unit.

3. The analysis device according to claim 2, wherein the changing unit changes the ingot particle system created by the regular system creating unit so as to cause the plurality of particles included in the ingot particle system to exhibit non-uniformity.

4. A simulation method of simulating a mechanical structure with a predetermined shape, comprising:

preparing, using a processor, an ingot particle system including a plurality of particles, describing a state before the mechanical structure is formed in the predetermined shape, and larger than a particle system describing the mechanical structure;

creating, using the processor, the ingot particle system on which a relaxation calculation is performed for the plurality of particles included in the ingot particle system; and

cutting and analyzing, using the processor, a particle system with the predetermined shape from the created ingot particle system.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable medium, said computer-readable medium containing computer code which, when run on a computer, causes the computer to execute a process of analyzing an object with a predetermined shape, the process comprising:

creating an ingot particle system larger than a particle system describing the object and including a plurality of particles on which a relaxation calculation is performed;

specifying a region with the predetermined shape in the ingot particle system created as the particle system describing the object; and

numerically calculating a governing equation governing motions of particles in the particle system describing the object.
