Patent ID: 8554491

Claim:
A modeling device, comprising: an input section configured to receive shape information of a first object, characteristic information of a second object, the characteristic information containing a spot in the second object and a characteristic at the spot in the second object, the second object being different from the first object, and shape information of the second object; a processor; and a storage unit storing executable code that when executed by the processor causes the processor to implement a virtually electrifying section configured to obtain by calculation, on a basis of the shape information of the first object and the shape information of the second object, (i) an electric potential at a spot in the first object at a time when a predetermined voltage is applied to the first object and (ii) an electric potential at a spot in the second object at a time when the predetermined voltage is applied to the second object; and a projecting section configured to specify, on a basis of the electric potential obtained by the virtually electrifying section, a spot in a first object model, and configured to project the characteristic onto the specified spot in the first object model, the specified spot in the first object model corresponding to the spot included in the characteristic information of the second object, wherein the first object is a heart, and the characteristic contained in the characteristic information of the second object is related to a fiber orientation and/or a sheet orientation of a cardiac muscle cell.
