Claim One:
1. A computerized simulation method for evaluating dispersion of fillers in a high polymer material, the method comprising: defining a plurality of filler models available for use with the computerized simulation, the plurality of filler models comprising at least one particle; defining a plurality of polymer models available for use with the computerized simulation, the plurality of polymer models comprising a plurality of particles each having a first potential with respect to the at least one particle of the filler models, and at least one modified basal particle having a second potential with respect to the at least one particle of the filler models, wherein the second potential differs from the first potential; performing a molecular dynamics calculation of the plurality of filler models and the plurality of polymer models placed in a predetermined virtual space on the computer, wherein the plurality of filler models are dispersed due to interactions with the particles of the plurality of polymer models having the first potential or the second potential; observing the dispersion of the filler models from data obtained in the molecular dynamics calculation by calculating a radial distribution function of the filler models; revising a configuration of the polymer model by changing a number of the at least one modified basal particle when the radial distribution function of the filler models is below a predetermined threshold; repeating the molecular dynamics calculation based on the revised configuration of the polymer model; and producing an improved simulation model including the filler models and the polymer models with the revised configuration, wherein the radial distribution function of the filler models of the improved simulation model is no less than the predetermined threshold, and the improved simulation model presenting a dispersion state of the filler models resembling a dispersion state of fillers in an actual polymer material that contains a modified agent.
