Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented numerical analysis model data generating method comprising: inputting three-dimensional shape data that defines a structure; segmenting the inputted three-dimensional shape data using into three-dimensional polyhedral microscopic elements by using a three-dimensional meshed pattern, a mesh of the meshed pattern defined as an analytic unit; determining a ratio of a volume of a microscopic element of the polyhedral microscopic elements in the mesh to a volume of the mesh; comparing the ratio of the volume of the microscopic element with a predetermined maximum filling ratio; transforming the microscopic element having the ratio of the volume larger than the predetermined maximum filling ratio into a microscopic element without a hole by deleting data corresponding to the hole in the mesh; and providing as the numerical analysis model data a set of all the microscopic elements including the microscopic element without a hole.
