Claim:
A calculation method for physical body deformation under load propagation which is a method of displaying a load propagation displacement of a physical body on a rigid physical body which undergoes a displacement constraint from a surrounding in a boundary which does not undergo the displacement constraint from the surrounding, said method comprising: virtually forming a first material agent having a shape of a hexahedron or a plane in the physical body at a position of a load exerted to an arbitrary position of the physical body; virtually forming a second material agent having the same shape as the first material agent at a contiguous face other than a face of the first material agent exerted with the load; virtually forming a third, a fourth, up to an n-th material agent similarly as the first material agent and successively up to a boundary between the physical body and the boundary which does not undergo the displacement constraint in the physical body and/or the rigid physical body which undergoes the displacement constraint; and virtually forming boundary agents having predetermined shapes at a contact face between the physical body and the boundary which does not undergo the displacement constraint and/or the rigid physical body which undergoes the displacement constraint, wherein in the first to n-th material agents, (i) with regard to a direction of the load, a predetermined load in accordance with a material property thereof is transmitted to an upper face and a lower face of the physical body in the load direction, a predetermined load in accordance with a strain characteristic of the physical body is transmitted to a face orthogonal to the load direction, and a load which undergoes the predetermined displacement constraint is transmitted to an upper face in the load direction of one material agent contiguous to another material agent, (ii) with regard to the load, in the boundary agent formed in the boundary which does not undergo the displacement constraint, a load having a value the same as a value of the load from a contiguous material agent in the load direction is transmitted, and (iii) in the boundary agent formed in the rigid physical body which undergoes the displacement constraint, with regard to the load from the contiguous material agent, a load having a value the same as a value of the load is transmitted in a direction reverse to a direction of the load to thereby display the load propagation displacement of the physical body.
