Abstract:
1. A simulation apparatus comprising: a two-dimensional section dividing processing unit configured to divide a three-dimensional shape as a simulation target into at least one set of two-dimensional sections intersecting with each other and configured to define the three-dimensional shape as the two-dimensional sections; a two-dimensional simulator configured to run a two-dimensional shape simulation in each time step for each of the two-dimensional sections obtained by the dividing and configured to acquire a two-dimensional shape; a one-dimensional combining processing unit configured to extract a film configuration for each intersection of the two-dimensional sections from the acquired two-dimensional shape and configured to combine the film configurations to acquire one-dimensional film configurations; and a three-dimensional shape combining processing unit configured to create a three-dimensional structure from the acquired one-dimensional film configurations on the basis of information on the intersection.
