Claim:
A simulation method comprising the steps of: (a) determining, via a processor, a first renormalization factor α greater than 1, a second renormalization factor γ equal to or greater than 0 and equal to or smaller than d, and a third renormalization factor δ equal to or greater than 0 using a dimension number d of a space where a particle system S is arranged to obtain a number N′ of renormalized particles by a conversion equation N′=N/α d , to obtain a mass m′ of each renormalized particle by a conversion equation m′=mα δ /α γ , and to obtain a renormalized interaction coefficient ε′ by a conversion equation ε′=εα γ , wherein the particle system S in which a number of particles is N, a mass of each particle is m, and inter-particle interaction potential energy can be expressed by a product εf of a dimensionless function f representing an inter-particle distance dependence and an interaction coefficient ε; and (b) performing, via the processor, a molecular dynamics calculation on a renormalized particle system S′ in which the number of renormalized particles is N′, the mass of each particle is the mass m′ of each renormalized particle, and inter-particle interaction potential energy is expressed by a product ε′f of the dimensionless function f and the renormalized interaction coefficient ε′.
