Abstract: PARTICLE DATA COMPUTING APPARATUS PARTICLE DATA COMPUTING METHOD Disclosed herein are a computer-readable medium including a particle data computing program for computing particle data used in simulation which is carried out in a computer, based on a discrete element method (DEM), a 5 particle data computing apparatus that is operated using this program, and a particle data computing method used when this program is executed. When an integrated displacement amount of the particles constituting a contact candidate pair is equal to or more than one-quarter cell 10 or more, likelihood becomes high that the particles of the contact candidate particle pair, which was not in contact with each other, would come into contact with each other. In such high likelihood, data relating to contact candidate particle pairs are updated. With this arrangement, even 15 if contact candidate particle pair data updating is decimated and part of contact determination is omitted to increase computing speed of the contact determination, accuracy of simulation will not be reduced. -1/8 ST1 Coordinate Data Divide Region into Cells Memory Assining Address to Cells Cell Data ST3 4Memory S3 Contact Candidate Particle ST13 Pair ST4 Prepare for Contact - ~ dt ieSe Determinat ion M3 IContact Candidate ST5 CtcwihParticle Pair Contat wit Data Memory Each Other?
