Patent ID: 8397203

Claim:
A planar manufacturing drawing production support device supporting production of a planar manufacturing drawing in which a three-dimensional structure is laid out in a planar manner, according to path plan information indicative of a three-dimensional path plan of the plurality of wire harnesses forming the three-dimensional structure, in order to provide an instruction of manufacture of the three-dimensional structure in a planar form, the planar manufacturing drawing production support device comprising: a path plan information acquisition unit acquiring the path plan information corresponding to the three-dimensional structure as a support object; a manufacturing requirement information acquisition unit acquiring manufacturing requirement information indicative of a layout condition used when laying out the three-dimensional structure in a planar form during manufacture; a layout configuration production unit producing, according to the acquired path plan information and the acquired manufacturing requirement information, a layout configuration model in which the three-dimensional structure is laid out in a planar manner; a simulation unit simulating a transformation from the layout configuration model produced by the layout configuration production unit to a mounting configuration model with which the three-dimensional structure is mounted to a mount object; an evaluation unit performing an evaluation of predetermined evaluation items by comparing a simulation result obtained by the simulation unit with the three-dimensional structure indicated by the path plan information; and an evaluation result information output unit outputting evaluation result information indicative of an evaluation result obtained by the evaluation unit in order to support at least one of path designing of the three-dimensional structure and production of the planar manufacturing drawing.
