Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method for generating a two-dimensional mesh model of an analysis object, which model is made up of a finite number of elements and provided with a plurality of nodes, comprising a process in which data about an original contour of the analysis object, including data about contour nodes which can specify the original contour, are stored, a transform process in which the original contour is transformed by scaling the original contour only in the direction of a predetermined first axis at a predetermined first scaling factor to obtain data about the transformed contour, a mesh process in which, by defining additional nodes on the transformed contour in addition to the contour nodes, and by meshing based on all the additional nodes and the contour nodes, a primary mesh model whose contour is the same as the transformed contour is generated, and an inverse transform process in which, by scaling the primary mesh model only in said direction of the first axis at a second scaling factor equal to the reciprocal of the first scaling factor, a secondary mesh model whose contour is the same as the original contour is generated as the two-dimensional mesh model of the analysis object.
