[0001] The present disclosure relates to a display control device. [Background technology]

[0002] When constructing or repairing a building, such as a roof, a designer who considers the shape of the building and an architect who designs a building that satisfies the laws of physics may work together to create the design. Since the designer's proposals are often diverse, when working together, the designer and architect check the results of the design as they proceed with the design work.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2022-174326 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, the designs proposed by designers are often diverse. Therefore, when checking the results of the design proposed by the designer, it is important that the designer and the designer can check the results with as little burden as possible, for example by displaying the results in an easy-to-see format. This is true not only when a designer and a designer work together to design a building, but also when a designer is solely responsible for the design and planning.

[0005] In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present disclosure is to provide a technique that can reduce the burden required to confirm the results of a design when designing a building. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, this disclosure proposes the following means. One aspect of the present disclosure is a display control device that includes a display control unit that causes a multidimensional analysis chart image to be displayed on a display unit, the multidimensional analysis chart image showing first shape information corresponding to a shape of a first building, first structural analysis result information showing a structural analysis result of the first building, second shape information corresponding to a shape of a second building, and second structural analysis result information showing a structural analysis result of the second building, wherein the multidimensional analysis chart image represents the first shape information and the second shape information as distributed along a shape information axis, and represents the first structural analysis result information and the second structural analysis result information as distributed along a structural analysis result axis, and the display control unit displays the multidimensional analysis chart image, a first three-dimensional shape image showing the three-dimensional shape of the first building, and a second three-dimensional shape image showing the three-dimensional shape of the second building on a single screen.

[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a display control device according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS. (Embodiment) As shown in Fig. 5, the display control device 1 includes a user interface 10, a control unit 11, and a storage unit 12. The user interface 10 includes a display unit 101 and an input unit 102. As shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, the control unit 11 includes a processor 91, a memory 92, an input information acquisition unit 110, a display control unit 111, a recording unit 112, and a selection unit 113. Details of each component will be described later.

[0010] The display control device 1 assists a user in designing a design object. The design object is a building to be designed. The user may be, for example, a designer who designs the design object or a designer who designs the shape of the design object. For ease of explanation, the display control device 1 will be described below using an example in which the design object is a roof. In particular, the display control device 1 will be described using an example in which the design object is a roof with a shell structure or a dome structure.

[0011] The display control device 1 includes a display control unit 111. The display control unit 111 controls the display unit 101. In this embodiment, the display control unit 111 displays a multidimensional analysis chart image G1 showing, in a multidimensional analysis chart, first shape information consisting of multiple types of information corresponding to the shape of the first building, second shape information consisting of multiple types of information corresponding to the shape of the second building, multiple types of first structural analysis result information showing the structural analysis result of the first building, and multiple types of second structural analysis result information showing the structural analysis result of the second building on the display unit 101. Specifically, the display control unit 111 accepts input of shape information, which is information on the shape of the building, and structural analysis result information, which is the result of the structural analysis of the building, and displays the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 showing the shape information and structural analysis result information on the screen H101 of the display unit 101.

[0012] The display control unit 111 in this embodiment further displays the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 and a three-dimensional shape image S1 showing the three-dimensional shape of at least one of the first building and the second building on the screen H101. The display control unit 111 in this embodiment further displays the multidimensional analysis chart image G1, the three-dimensional shape image S1, a selection criteria information input field P1 for inputting selection criteria information, and a table image T1 showing shape information and structural analysis result information in a table format on the screen H101.

[0013] The display control unit 111 may display the multidimensional analysis chart image G1, the first three-dimensional shape image showing the three-dimensional shape of the first building, and the second three-dimensional shape image showing the three-dimensional shape of the second building on one screen. The number of three-dimensional shape images S1 displayed on the screen H101 is not limited. For example, there may be one as shown in FIG. 1, or there may be multiple as shown in FIG. 3. The three-dimensional shape image S1 may be, for example, the exterior of a building, or may be, for example, the three-dimensional shape of the framework of a building. The display control device 1 may not include the display unit 101. The display control device 1 may simply be a device for controlling the display unit 101.

[0014] The display control device 1 in this embodiment further includes an input unit 102 for inputting selection criterion information indicating a predetermined selection criterion, and a selection unit 113 for selecting, from the first shape information and the first structure analysis result information, and the second shape information and the second structure analysis result information, information that matches the selection criterion information input by the input unit 102. The hardware configuration of the display control device 1 corresponding to the input unit 102, the selection unit 113, etc. will be described later.

[0015] The screen H101 displayed on the display unit 101 will now be described in detail.

[0016] The display control device 1 displays on the display unit 101 a multidimensional analysis chart image G1 showing first shape information consisting of multiple types of information corresponding to the shape of a first building and second shape information consisting of multiple types of information corresponding to the shape of a second building in a multidimensional analysis chart.

[0017] The shape information is composed of multiple pieces of information that represent the shape of a building. The information that constitutes the shape information indicates, for example, the type of roof shape (lattice shell, parallel dome, lattice shell, etc.). The information that constitutes the shape information indicates, for example, values ​​for multiple quantities related to the shape of a building. The quantities related to shape (hereinafter referred to as "shape quantities") indicate, for example, the position of either the upper chord or the lower chord, or both. The positions of the upper chord or the lower chord are indicated, for example, by either the depth or the rise, or both. Depth means the maximum distance between the upper chord and the lower chord. Rise means the distance between the column base position and the upper chord. The shape quantities indicate, for example, the presence or absence and number of beams or diagonal members connecting the upper chord and the lower chord.

[0018] The shape quantity indicates, for example, the number of nodes. The shape quantity indicates, for example, the number of divisions of a shell or a dome. The shape quantity indicates, for example, the number of elements. The shape quantity indicates, for example, the total length of an element. The shape quantity indicates, for example, the average length of an element. Here, elements refer to, for example, steel sections or steel pipes that constitute an upper chord or a lower chord.

[0019] The shape quantity indicates, for example, the position of the arrangement of the diagonal member. There are multiple types of arrangements of the diagonal member, such as a V-shape, a / -shape, a cross arrangement, etc. Therefore, the shape quantity may indicate, for example, the type of arrangement of the diagonal member.

[0020] The display control device 1 displays the design results on the display unit 101 using information indicating the correspondence between the shape information and the design results (hereinafter referred to as "correspondence information"). The design results are, for example, information on the results of structural analysis of the building represented by the shape information (hereinafter referred to as "corresponding structural analysis result information"). The design results are, for example, an image of the three-dimensional shape of the building represented by the shape information (hereinafter referred to as "corresponding three-dimensional shape image").

[0021] The correspondence information in this embodiment includes corresponding structural analysis result information, which is a result of structural analysis of the building indicated by the shape information, and a corresponding three-dimensional shape image of the building indicated by the shape information. The correspondence relationship information will be explained below using an example in which the number of buildings is n.

[0022] When there are first to n-th buildings with different shape quantities in at least one piece of information among the multiple types of information constituting the shape information, the shape information corresponding to the first to n-th buildings, respectively, is defined as the first shape information to the n-th shape information, the results of structural analysis of each building are defined as the first structural analysis result information to the n-th structural analysis result information, and the three-dimensional shape images indicated by each piece of shape information are defined as the first three-dimensional shape image to the n-th three-dimensional shape image. In this case, the first correspondence information corresponding to the first shape information of the first building is the first structural analysis result information and the first three-dimensional shape image, and the second correspondence information corresponding to the second shape information of the second building is the second structural analysis result information and the second three-dimensional shape image. Hereinafter, the display control device 1 may be described in detail using the first building and the second building as examples.

[0023] In addition, the display control device 1 only needs to have a display control unit 111 that displays at least multiple types of information that constitute the shape information as a multidimensional analysis chart image G1, and does not need to display the structural analysis result information and the three-dimensional shape image S1 as correspondence information.

[0024] The structural analysis result information is composed of multiple pieces of information that represent the structural analysis results of a building. The information showing the structural analysis results is expressed, for example, by the maximum displacement in the X, Y, and Z directions of the building. The information showing the structural analysis results is expressed, for example, by the maximum reaction force in the X, Y, and Z directions of the building. The information showing the structural analysis results is expressed, for example, by the total weight of the building. The information showing the structural analysis results is expressed, for example, by the total strain energy of the building. The information showing the structural analysis results is expressed, for example, by the total strain energy of the building when an earthquake occurs. The information showing the structural analysis results is expressed, for example, by the buckling eigenvalue of the building. The information showing the structural analysis results is expressed, for example, by the buckling eigenvalue of the building when an earthquake occurs.

[0025] When the design result is a structural calculation result, the shape information used to acquire the correspondence information may be any information that has been acquired in advance using the shape information and the structural calculation result under the condition that the shape information satisfies a predetermined condition (hereinafter referred to as "design condition") related to the shape. For example, the correspondence between the shape information and the structural calculation result that satisfies the design condition may be obtained by a machine learning method.

[0026] The correspondence information may be, for example, the correspondence between shape information that satisfies the design conditions and the structural calculation results obtained by analysis using a mathematical model such as the finite element method. The design conditions are conditions set in advance by the user regarding the shape of the building, such as the condition that the shape projected onto a horizontal plane is an ellipse.

[0027] The corresponding structural analysis result information is obtained by performing an analysis such as a structural analysis on a plurality of pieces of shape information prepared in advance as shape information that satisfies the design conditions, for example. In such a case, a set of a plurality of pairs of the shape information used in the analysis and the structural analysis result information is an example of the correspondence relationship information.

[0028] The corresponding three-dimensional shape image is generated, for example, by a computer program that generates a three-dimensional image by calculation based on the shape information. The corresponding three-dimensional shape image may be generated in advance, or may be generated by the display control device 1 when acquiring the shape information. The corresponding three-dimensional shape image may be generated manually in advance, for example, by using image software.

[0029] The shape information and the correspondence relationship information may be stored in the display control device 1 itself, or may be stored in another device capable of communicating with the display control device 1, such as a server on a network. When the shape information and the correspondence relationship information are stored in another device, the display control device 1 acquires the shape information and the correspondence relationship information from the other device that stores the shape information and the correspondence relationship information through communication. When the shape information and the correspondence relationship information are stored in the display control device 1 itself, the display control device 1 acquires the shape information and the correspondence relationship information by reading the shape information and the correspondence relationship information from a storage unit 12, which will be described later. Hereinafter, for simplicity of explanation, the display control device 1 will be described taking as an example a case in which the shape information and the correspondence relationship information are stored in the display control device 1 itself. The shape information and structural analysis result information for the common buildings are stored in correspondence with each other. For example, the same number of pieces of building information as the number of buildings are stored in the storage unit 12. For example, the building information includes an identification number of each building, and the shape information and structural analysis result information of the building corresponding to the identification number.

[0030] 1 shows a screen H101 as an example of a screen that the display control device 1 displays on the display unit 101. The screen H101 includes an area A1, an area A2, an area A3, and an area A4.

[0031] In this embodiment, a selection criteria information input field P1 is displayed in the area A1.

[0032] In this embodiment, the selection criteria information input field P1 is provided with input fields A1-1, A1-2, and A1-3. The input fields A1-1, A1-2, and A1-3 are examples of input fields for inputting selection criteria information indicating predetermined selection criteria. The number of input fields is not particularly limited, and may be one or more. In Figure 1, as an example of input selection criteria information, total strain energy ("W") is input in input field A1-1, buckling eigenvalue ("bucklingfactor") is input in input field A1-2, and total strain energy during an earthquake ("EL_W") is input in input field A1-3.

[0033] In FIG. 1, an example of an input field for the user to input selection criteria information indicating a predetermined selection criteria is displayed in the area A1. The selection criteria information that the user can input is not particularly limited. The selection criteria information that the user can input may be, for example, only information on some or all of the item names of the multiple types of shape information used when acquiring the correspondence information. The selection criteria information that the user can input may be, for example, information on some or all of the item names of the multiple types of shape information used when acquiring the correspondence information and the item names of the multiple types of shape information that were not used when acquiring the correspondence information. The method of selecting information that matches the input selection criteria information is not particularly limited. For example, information that matches the selection criteria information may be rearranged based on the selection criteria information. For example, information that matches the selection criteria information may be extracted based on the selection criteria information.

[0034] The information input in area A1 is not limited to the item name of the shape information. The information input in area A1 may be the item name of the structural analysis result information, or may be the item names of both the shape information and the structural analysis result information. The selection criterion information may be the shape information, the structural analysis information, or both the shape information and the structural analysis information. The selection criterion information is, for example, the item name of the shape information or the item name of the structural analysis result information. In this embodiment, the display control device 1 extracts and rearranges the building information based on the item selected as the selection criterion information. The rearranged information may be displayed in table format in area A4 described later, for example, with a predetermined number of items from the top, using a table image. The information input in the area A1 is not limited to the item name, and may be, for example, an input field for inputting a numerical value. In this case, for example, in addition to the item name, numerical values ​​indicating a numerical range (for example, an upper limit value and a lower limit value) may be provided, and building information indicating the item name and the numerical range may be extracted.

[0035] In this embodiment, a multidimensional analysis chart image G1 is displayed in the area A2.

[0036] The horizontal axis of the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 indicates shape information and structural analysis result information composed of multiple types of information. Specifically, the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 represents the first shape information, the second shape information, multiple types of first structural analysis result information showing the structural analysis result of the first building, and multiple types of second structural analysis result information showing the structural analysis result of the second building, distributed along multiple shape information axes and structural analysis result information axes corresponding to each of the multiple types. In this embodiment, there are the first building to the 2590th building. Therefore, in this embodiment, the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 represents the first shape information to the 2590th shape information and the first structural analysis result information to the 2590th structural analysis result information distributed along multiple shape information axes and structural analysis result information axes corresponding to each of the multiple types. Hereinafter, the display control device 1 may be described in detail using the first building, the second building, etc. as examples. Note that the contents described using the first building and the second building as examples are similarly applied to up to the n-th building (up to the 2590th building in this embodiment) as described above.

[0037] In this embodiment, the following information constituting the shape information is shown on the shape information axis of the horizontal axis of the multidimensional analysis chart image G1. "Shape" on the horizontal axis of multidimensional analysis chart image G1 indicates the roof shape type. "Node_num" on the horizontal axis of multidimensional analysis chart image G1 indicates the number of nodes. "Divide" on the horizontal axis of multidimensional analysis chart image G1 indicates the number of divisions of a shell or dome. "Element_num" on the horizontal axis of multidimensional analysis chart image G1 indicates the number of elements. "Element_sum" on the horizontal axis of multidimensional analysis chart image G1 indicates the total length of the elements. "Avelen" on the horizontal axis of multidimensional analysis chart image G1 indicates the average length of the elements. "Rise" on the horizontal axis of multidimensional analysis chart image G1 indicates the distance between the column base position and the upper chord.

[0038] The shape information displayed in the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 is not limited to the above, and may be a part of the shape information shown above, or other shape information.

[0039] In this embodiment, the following information constituting the structural analysis result is shown on the structural analysis result information axis of the horizontal axis of the multidimensional analysis chart image G1. "disp_x" on the horizontal axis of multidimensional analysis chart image G1 indicates the maximum deformation amount in the X-axis direction of the structure. "disp_y" on the horizontal axis of multidimensional analysis chart image G1 indicates the maximum deformation amount in the Y-axis direction of the structure. "disp_z" on the horizontal axis of multidimensional analysis chart image G1 indicates the maximum deformation amount in the Z-axis direction of the structure. "reactx" on the horizontal axis of multidimensional analysis chart image G1 indicates the maximum reaction force in the X-axis direction of the structure. "reacty" on the horizontal axis of multidimensional analysis chart image G1 indicates the maximum reaction force in the Y-axis direction of the structure. "reactz" on the horizontal axis of multidimensional analysis chart image G1 indicates the maximum reaction force in the Z-axis direction of the structure. "weight" on the horizontal axis of multidimensional analysis chart image G1 indicates the weight of the structure. "W" on the horizontal axis of multidimensional analysis chart image G1 indicates the total strain energy of the structure. The total strain energy is the sum of the strain energy of the axial force, the strain energy of the bending force, and the strain energy of the shear force. "EL_W" on the horizontal axis of the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 indicates the total strain energy of the structure when an earthquake occurs. "BKF" on the horizontal axis of the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 indicates the buckling eigenvalue. "EL_BKF" on the horizontal axis of the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 indicates the buckling eigenvalue when an earthquake occurs. The vertical axis of the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 indicates the normalized value of each quantity on the horizontal axis. Note that the horizontal axis of the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 only needs to indicate at least shape information, and may also indicate structural analysis result information obtained by structural analysis. Information constituting the structural analysis result information is displayed along the structural analysis result information axis.

[0040] The structural analysis result information shown in the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 is not limited to the above, and may be a part of the structural analysis result information shown above, or other structural analysis result information. For example, the structural analysis results of the first building may include the structural analysis results of the first building with intermediate nodes provided and the structural analysis results of the first building without intermediate nodes provided. Here, the intermediate node represents a virtual node provided in the middle between one end of a member and the other end of the member. A node represents a connection point of members constituting the framework of a structure.

[0041] Also, as the structural analysis result information shown in the multi-dimensional analysis chart image G1, for each of the first building and the second building, it may be shown discriminatively which of member buckling and overall buckling occurs first. Which of member buckling and overall buckling occurs first can be analyzed, for example, by comparing the buckling eigenvalue A of the building with intermediate nodes provided and the buckling eigenvalue B of the building without intermediate nodes provided. Such an analysis method based on intermediate nodes can appropriately adopt known methods. Specifically, the buckling eigenvalue A and the buckling eigenvalue B are compared, and when A = B, it is determined that overall buckling occurs, and when A < B, it is determined that member buckling occurs first.

[0042] The display control unit 111 may cause the display unit 101 to display a buckling discrimination image that discriminatively shows which of member buckling and overall buckling occurs first for each of the first building and the second building. The buckling discrimination image may be displayed, for example, as a window different from the window displaying the currently displayed information. The buckling discrimination image may be displayed, for example, together with the first three-dimensional shape image and the second three-dimensional shape image described later. The buckling discrimination image may display only the type of buckling that occurs first (member buckling or overall buckling), and may display, for example, "member buckling occurs before overall buckling".

[0043] The vertical axis of the multi-dimensional analysis chart image G1 shows values obtained by normalizing the values of each quantity on the horizontal axis. However, the values of each quantity may not be normalized. For example, the display control unit 111 may determine the upper limit value of the vertical axis based on the maximum value of the values of each quantity, and the display control unit 111 may determine the lower limit value of the vertical axis based on the minimum value of the values of each quantity.

[0044] As shown in the modified example of Fig. 2, the buckling eigenvalues ​​of each material used may be displayed as information constituting the structural analysis result information. The buckling eigenvalues ​​of each material used may include two types of buckling eigenvalues: a buckling eigenvalue of a building with an intermediate node and a buckling eigenvalue of a building without an intermediate node. Candidate materials include, for example, narrow H-shaped steel, medium H-shaped steel, wide H-shaped steel, and steel pipes.

[0045] In the example shown in FIG. 2, the buckling eigenvalues ​​of narrow H-shaped steel, wide H-shaped steel, and steel pipe are displayed as structural analysis result information. In this embodiment, "bucklingfactor" indicates the buckling eigenvalue when a building using medium-width H-shaped steel does not have an intermediate node. "EL_bucklingfactor" indicates the buckling eigenvalue during an earthquake when a building using medium-width H-shaped steel does not have an intermediate node. "Div_bk" indicates the buckling eigenvalue when a building using medium-width H-shaped steel has an intermediate node. "Div_elbk" indicates the buckling eigenvalue during an earthquake when a building using medium-width H-shaped steel has an intermediate node. "pipe" indicates the buckling eigenvalue when a building using steel pipe does not have an intermediate node. "EL_pipe" indicates the buckling eigenvalue during an earthquake when a building using steel pipe does not have an intermediate node. "Div_bk_p" indicates the buckling eigenvalue when a building using steel pipe has an intermediate node. "Div_elbk_p" indicates the buckling eigenvalue during an earthquake when an intermediate node is provided in a building using steel pipes. "wh" indicates the buckling eigenvalue when an intermediate node is not provided in a building using wide H-shaped steel. "EL_wh" indicates the buckling eigenvalue during an earthquake when an intermediate node is not provided in a building using wide H-shaped steel. "Div_bk_w" indicates the buckling eigenvalue when an intermediate node is provided in a building using wide H-shaped steel. "Div_elbk_w" indicates the buckling eigenvalue during an earthquake when an intermediate node is provided in a building using wide H-shaped steel. In this way, when displaying each material, corresponding structural analysis result information may be displayed for each material.

[0046] In the horizontal axis of the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 in this embodiment, the area where the shape information axis is displayed is different from the area where the structure analysis result axis is displayed. In the illustrated example, the area where the shape information axis is displayed is the area to the left of the area A2, and the area where the structure analysis result axis is displayed is the area to the right of the area A2.

[0047] It should be noted that the horizontal axis of the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 only needs to show shape information, and does not necessarily need to show structure analysis result information.

[0048] The multidimensional analysis chart image G1 may show the first shape information, the second shape information, the first structural analysis result information, the second structural analysis result information, and information corresponding to the costs of the first building and the second building. The cost information represents information on the costs incurred in constructing the building. An example of the cost information is the expenses incurred in constructing the building. An example of the cost information is the time required in constructing the building. The cost information may be displayed as structural analysis result information. The cost information may be calculated, for example, by multiplying the weight obtained as the structural analysis result by the cost per unit weight.

[0049] In this embodiment, the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 shows, for example, 2590 pieces of building information. Note that the number of buildings is 2590, which is just an example, and the number of buildings is not particularly limited. Depending on the design object, the number of buildings may be, for example, about 4000 pieces. The building information is connected by a single broken line. In the illustrated example, the number of broken lines is the same as the number of buildings (2590).

[0050] Also, as shown in Fig. 4, any of the correspondence relationship information may be highlighted on the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 where a broken line corresponding to each piece of information is displayed. The broken line L101 highlighted in Fig. 4 is one piece of building information showing the value of each quantity obtained for one of the multiple buildings. Note that there may be multiple broken lines L101 highlighted.

[0051] The method of selecting the building information to be highlighted on the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 is not particularly limited. For example, the display control unit 111 may further include a selection means for selecting one of the first and second three-dimensional shape images displayed in the area A3 described later, and when the first three-dimensional shape image is selected by the selection means, the display control unit 111 may highlight the first shape information and the first structure analysis result information included in the multidimensional analysis chart image G1, and when the second three-dimensional shape image is selected by the selection means, the display control unit 111 may highlight the second shape information and the second structure analysis result information included in the multidimensional analysis chart image G1. By using the selection means for selecting at least one of the three-dimensional shape images S1 displayed in the area A3 described later, the broken line L101 of the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 corresponding to the selected three-dimensional shape information may be highlighted. For example, by using the selection means for selecting at least one piece of building information of the table image T1 displayed in the area A4 described later, the broken line L101 of the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 corresponding to the selected building information may be highlighted.

[0052] As shown in FIG. 1, in this embodiment, one three-dimensional shape image S1 is displayed in the area A3. As shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of three-dimensional shape images S1 may be displayed, and may be displayed together with the index of the correspondence information. There are no particular limitations on the area A3 as long as it is an area in which the three-dimensional shape image S1 is displayed. The three-dimensional shape image S1 may be a 3D model made up of data having three-dimensional coordinates, or may be an image whose shape can be confirmed from a plurality of viewpoints. As shown in FIG. 4, the three-dimensional shape image S1 may be displayed in an emphasized manner. Note that a plurality of three-dimensional shape images S1 may be displayed in an emphasized manner.

[0053] When one three-dimensional shape image S1 is displayed, the method of selecting the three-dimensional shape image S1 to be displayed, and when a plurality of three-dimensional shape images S1 are displayed, the method of selecting the three-dimensional shape image S1 to be highlighted is not particularly limited. For example, the display control unit 111 may further include a specifying means for specifying either the first shape information and the first structure analysis result information included in the multidimensional analysis chart image G1, or the second shape information and the second structure analysis result information included in the multidimensional analysis chart image G1, and the display control unit 111 may highlight the first three-dimensional shape image when the specifying means specifies the first shape information or the first structure analysis result information, and highlight the second three-dimensional shape image when the specifying means specifies the second shape information or the second structure analysis result information. One of the three-dimensional shape images S1 corresponding to the specified three-dimensional shape information may be displayed, or one of the three-dimensional shape images S1 may be highlighted. For example, by using a selection means for selecting correspondence information of at least one building in the table image T1 displayed in area A4 described below, one three-dimensional shape image S1 corresponding to the selected correspondence information may be displayed, or one three-dimensional shape image S1 from among the multiple three-dimensional shape images S1 may be highlighted. The means for identifying at least one piece of correspondence information in the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 may be, for example, a designation means for designating a range corresponding to at least one of the multiple shape information axes and multiple structural analysis result axes in the aforementioned area A1, or a designation means for designating by inputting a numerical value corresponding to at least one of the shape quantity and structural analysis result.

[0054] The number of three-dimensional shape images S1 to be displayed or highlighted is not particularly limited.

[0055] A table image T1 is displayed in area A4. There may be one table image T1 or multiple table images T1. In this embodiment, a radio button R is provided in the table image T1. The table image T1 may show only a part or all of the shape information and structure analysis result information constituting the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 displayed in area A2.

[0056] The method of selecting information to be displayed in a table format in the table image is not particularly specified. For example, a designation means for designating a range corresponding to any one of a plurality of shape information axes and a plurality of structure analysis result axes may be further provided, and the display control unit 111 may display, on one screen of the display unit 101, a table image T1 which is an image representing, in a table format, the first shape information and the first structure analysis result information and the second shape information and the second structure analysis result information, which correspond to the range designated by the designation means, together with the multidimensional analysis chart image G1.

[0057] The designation means may designate a predetermined range on the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 along any one of a plurality of shape information axes and a plurality of structure analysis result axes.

[0058] In the table image T1, a part may be highlighted. The information highlighted in the table image T1 may be one or more pieces of shape information and structural analysis result information of a plurality of buildings, or may be information in columns or rows of the table image T1.

[0059] The method of highlighting is not particularly limited, and for example, the numbers and letters on the table image T1 may be displayed in bold, for example, the color or size of the radio button R on the table image T1 may be changed, or for example, the color of the cells on the table image T1 may be changed.

[0060] 5 is a diagram showing an example of a hardware configuration of a display control device 1 according to an embodiment. The display control device 1 includes a control unit 11 including a processor 91 such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a memory 92 connected via a bus, and executes a display control program. The display control program is a program that controls the operation of each functional unit included in the display control device 1. The display control device 1 functions as a device including a user interface 10, the control unit 11, and a storage unit 12 by executing the display control program.

[0061] More specifically, in the display control device 1, the processor 91 reads out an input / output assistance program stored in the storage unit 12, and stores the read display control program in the memory 92. The processor 91 executes the display control program stored in the memory 92, whereby the display control device 1 functions as a device including a user interface 10, a control unit 11, and a storage unit 12. The storage unit 12 may exist on a cloud.

[0062] The user interface 10 includes a display unit 101 and an input unit 102. The display unit 101 displays various information. The display unit 101 includes an output device such as a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) display, a liquid crystal display, or an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display. The display unit 101 may be configured as an interface that connects these output devices to the display control device 1.

[0063] The input unit 102 includes input terminals such as a mouse, a keyboard, and a touch panel. The input unit 102 may be configured as an interface that connects these input terminals to the display control device 1. The input unit 102 accepts input of various information to the display control device 1. The various information is information indicating how the input terminal has been operated (hereinafter referred to as "input terminal operation information").

[0064] The input terminal operation information indicates, for example, shape information. The input terminal operation information indicates, for example, a result of selection of shape information. In this manner, shape information is input to the input unit 102 by operating the input terminal. The input terminal operation information may be, for example, an operation to instruct a change of a screen displayed by the display unit 101.

[0065] The display unit 101 and the input unit 102 may be configured as an integrated touch panel. The input unit 102 may function as one or all of the above-mentioned input means, selection means, specification means, and designation means.

[0066] The control unit 11 controls the operation of each functional unit included in the display control device 1. The control unit 11 controls, for example, the operation of the display unit 101. The control unit 11 records shape information and structural analysis result information in the storage unit 12, for example.

[0067] The storage unit 12 is configured using a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium device such as a magnetic hard disk device or a semiconductor storage device. The storage unit 12 stores various information related to the display control device 1. The storage unit 12 stores, for example, a display control program in advance.

[0068] The storage unit 12 stores, for example, in advance, shape information used to acquire the correspondence information (hereinafter referred to as "preliminary shape information.") The storage unit 12 stores, for example, in advance, structural analysis result information.

[0069] The storage unit 12 stores, for example, corresponding three-dimensional shape images in advance. That is, the storage unit 12 stores corresponding three-dimensional shape images that have been generated in advance.

[0070] The storage unit 12 stores, for example, in advance, information indicating the size of the display unit 101 (hereinafter referred to as "display size information"). The storage unit 12 stores, for example, in advance, coordinates of each position on the display unit 101 (hereinafter referred to as "display coordinate information").

[0071] The storage unit 12 stores, for example, in advance, information indicating the correspondence between input terminal operation information and the processing executed by the control unit 11 (hereinafter referred to as "operation-dependent processing information").

[0072] An example of the operation-dependent process information is information indicating a shape information display process. The shape information display process is a process for displaying input shape information on the display unit 101 when a predetermined operation for inputting shape information is performed on an input terminal.

[0073] An example of the operation-dependent processing information is information indicating an active information recording process, which is a process of recording in the storage unit 12 that the selected image is being selected when a predetermined operation for selecting an image being displayed on the display unit 101 is performed on the input terminal.

[0074] The operation-dependent process information is information indicating a process for changing the display of areas A1, A2, A3, and A4 in accordance with input shape information, for example.

The image displayed in the area A1, the image displayed in the area A2, the image displayed in the area A3, and the image displayed in the area A4 are all examples of candidate images. The candidate image related information also includes information indicating the size of each candidate image.

[0076] 6 is a diagram showing an example of a functional configuration of the control unit 11 in the embodiment. The control unit 11 includes an input information acquisition unit 110, a display control unit 111, a recording unit 112, and a selection unit 113.

[0077] The input information acquisition unit 110 acquires information input to the input unit 102 .

[0078] The display control unit 111 controls the display of the display unit 101 based on at least the basic operation information recorded in the storage unit 12. The basic operation information is display unit size information, display coordinate information, operation-dependent processing information, and candidate image related information. For example, based on information indicating an operation of an input terminal input to the input unit 102, the display control unit 111 refers to the operation-dependent processing information, display unit size information, and display coordinate information and executes the processing indicated by the operation-dependent processing information.

[0079] The display control unit 111 controls, for example, the operation of the display unit 101 to cause the display unit 101 to display part or all of the shape information and structural analysis result information input to the input unit 102 as a multidimensional analysis chart image G1. Hereinafter, the process of causing the display unit 101 to display part or all of the shape information and structural analysis result information input to the input unit 102 as a multidimensional analysis chart image G1 is referred to as a multidimensional analysis chart image display process. The image in area A2 is an example of a multidimensional analysis chart image displayed on the display unit 101 as a result of the multidimensional analysis chart image display process. Here, as a result of the multidimensional analysis chart image display process, it is sufficient that at least a part of the shape information is displayed on the display unit 101, and it is not necessary that the structure analysis result information is displayed on the display unit 101.

[0080] The display control unit 111 controls, for example, the operation of the display unit 101 to cause the display unit 101 to display the three-dimensional shape of the building represented by the shape information input to the input unit 102. More specifically, the display control unit 111 causes the display unit 101 to display the three-dimensional shape of the building represented by the shape information input to the input unit 102, using shape information and a three-dimensional shape image S1 in addition to basic operation information. Hereinafter, the process of causing the display unit 101 to display the three-dimensional shape of the building represented by the shape information input to the input unit 102 is referred to as a three-dimensional display process.

[0081] The display control unit 111 controls, for example, the operation of the display unit 101, and causes the selection unit 113 to select part or all of the shape information and structural analysis result information input to the input unit 102, and display the selected part or all of the shape information and structural analysis result information as a table image T1 on the display unit 101. Hereinafter, the process of displaying part or all of the shape information and structural analysis result information input to the input unit 102 as a table image T1 on the display unit 101 is referred to as a table image display process.

[0082] Here, the display control unit 111 only needs to display the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 on the display unit 101, and it is not necessary for the display unit 101 to display the three-dimensional shape image S1 and the table image T1.

[0083] The display control unit 111 may execute, for example, a node display process. The node display process is a process for controlling the operation of the display unit 101 to display information indicating the position of the node on an image displayed on the display unit 101 by executing a stereoscopic display process. The position of the node may be indicated by highlighting the node on the image displayed on the display unit 101 by executing the stereoscopic display process. Furthermore, intermediate nodes may be displayed by a node display process.

[0084] The recording unit 112 records various types of information in the storage unit 12 .

[0085] The display control device 1 includes a display control unit that causes a multidimensional analysis chart image G1 to be displayed on a display unit, the multidimensional analysis chart showing first shape information consisting of multiple types of information corresponding to the shape of a first building and second shape information consisting of multiple types of information corresponding to the shape of a second building, and the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 represents the first shape information and the second shape information by distributing them along multiple shape information axes corresponding to each of the multiple types. With this configuration, by displaying the input shape information in the multidimensional analysis chart image G1, multiple types of shape information corresponding to the shapes of candidate buildings can be displayed in an easily visible form, making it easy to compare multiple types of shape information for each candidate building. Therefore, the burden of checking the design results when designing a building can be reduced.

[0086] The multidimensional analysis chart image G1 may indicate first shape information, second shape information, multiple types of first structural analysis result information indicating the structural analysis results of the first building, and multiple types of second structural analysis result information indicating the structural analysis results of the second building, wherein the types of the first structural analysis result information and the types of the second structural analysis result information are the same, and the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 may represent the first structural analysis result information and the second structural analysis result information by distributing them along multiple structural analysis result axes corresponding to each of the multiple types of first structural analysis result information. With this configuration, by displaying the structural analysis result information in addition to the shape information in the multidimensional analysis chart image G1, not only the shape information but also the structural analysis result information can be displayed in an easily visible form. This makes it easy to compare the shape information and the structural analysis result information for each candidate building. This further reduces the burden of checking the design results when designing a building.

[0087] The display control device 1 may further include an input means for inputting selection criteria information indicating specific selection criteria, and a selection unit 113 for selecting from the first shape information and the first structural analysis result information, and the second shape information and the second structural analysis result information, information that matches the selection criteria information input by the input means. With this configuration, for example, when displaying the table image T1, the information to be displayed in table format can be selected based on the selection criteria information. In addition, for example, the information to be displayed can be rearranged based on the selection criteria information. This makes it possible to extract information on buildings that require confirmation and assign priorities to the buildings, making it easier to compare shape information and structural analysis result information of multiple candidate buildings. This makes it possible to further reduce the burden of checking the design results when designing a building.

[0088] The display control unit of the display control device 1 may display the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 and the three-dimensional shape image S1 showing the three-dimensional shape of at least one of the first building and the second building on one screen. When a designer and an architect work together on a design, it is important for the designer to grasp the overall picture. Since the designer is not necessarily an architect, it is often not easy to imagine the result of the building design with only shape information. Also, if the shape image is a two-dimensional image, it is not possible to grasp the overall picture of the building without using multiple two-dimensional images. On the other hand, a three-dimensional image makes it easier to grasp the overall picture than a two-dimensional image. With this configuration, the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 and the three-dimensional shape image are displayed on one screen. Even if the user does not remember the input shape information, the user can compare the correspondence between the shape information and the three-dimensional image. Therefore, the display control device 1 can reduce the frequency of situations in which the user must think about how to proceed with the design while remembering the shape information. Therefore, the display control device 1 can reduce the burden on the user required to confirm the design results when designing a building, compared to a device that does not display a three-dimensional image of the building indicated by the shape information. In addition, such a display control device 1 can also reduce the burden on the user required to modify the design of the building, since it makes it easier to grasp the overall image of the building indicated by the input shape information. Therefore, it is possible to further reduce the burden required to confirm the design results when designing a building, and to achieve both designability and structural rationality.

[0089] In addition, the display control unit may display the multidimensional analysis chart image G1, a first three-dimensional shape image showing the three-dimensional shape of the first building, and a second three-dimensional shape image showing the three-dimensional shape of the second building all on one screen. With this configuration, multiple three-dimensional shape images S1 are displayed, making it possible to compare the three-dimensional shapes of multiple buildings on one screen, improving the efficiency of the review work. This reduces the burden of checking the design results when designing a building, and allows for both design quality and structural rationality to be achieved.

[0090] The display control unit may further include a selection means for selecting one of the first three-dimensional shape image and the second three-dimensional shape image, and when the first three-dimensional shape image is selected by the selection means, the display control unit may highlight the first shape information and the first structural analysis result information included in the multidimensional analysis chart image G1, and when the second three-dimensional shape image is selected by the selection means, the display control unit may highlight the second shape information and the second structural analysis result information included in the multidimensional analysis chart image G1. With this configuration, the user can easily check the shape information and structural analysis result information corresponding to the three-dimensional shape image S1 that the user is interested in. This can reduce the burden of checking the design results when designing a building, and can achieve both designability and structural rationality.

[0091] The display device may further include an identification means for identifying either the first shape information and the first structural analysis result information included in the multidimensional analysis chart image G1, or the second shape information and the second structural analysis result information included in the multidimensional analysis chart image G1, and the display control unit 111 may highlight the first three-dimensional shape image when the identification means identifies the first shape information or the first structural analysis result information, and highlight the second three-dimensional shape image when the identification means identifies the second shape information or the second structural analysis result information. With this configuration, the user can easily check the three-dimensional shape image corresponding to the shape information or structural analysis result information of interest. Even if a designer and a planner work together on a design, the correspondence between the shape information or structural analysis result information and the three-dimensional shape image can be easily understood. This reduces the burden of checking the design results when designing a building, and allows for both designability and structural rationality to be achieved.

[0092] Furthermore, the area included in the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 where the shape information axis is displayed may be different from the area included in the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 where the structure analysis result axis is displayed. With this configuration, the area included in the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 where the shape information axis is displayed and the area included in the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 where the structure analysis result axis is displayed can be displayed separately. This allows the user to clearly distinguish between the shape information and the structure analysis result information and to grasp the correspondence between them. This further reduces the burden of checking the design results when designing a building.

[0093] Furthermore, each of the structural analysis results of the first building and the structural analysis results of the second building may include a buckling eigenvalue. With this configuration, the correspondence between the shape information and the buckling analysis results can be easily understood when designing a building, thereby further reducing the burden of checking the design results when designing a building.

[0094] Each of the structural analysis results of the first building and the structural analysis results of the second building may include a structural analysis result of a building in which an intermediate node is provided and a structural analysis result of a building in which an intermediate node is not provided. As described above, by including the structural analysis results of the building with intermediate nodes and the structural analysis results of the building without intermediate nodes, for example, more detailed buckling analysis can be performed for each of the first building and the second building. Specifically, by including the structural analysis results of the building with intermediate nodes and the structural analysis results of the building without intermediate nodes, it is possible to determine whether individual member buckling or global buckling will occur first.

[0095] Furthermore, the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 may indicate in a distinguishable manner whether individual member buckling or overall buckling occurs first for each of the first building and the second building. Specifically, the display control unit may cause the display unit to display a buckling discrimination image that indicates in a distinguishable manner whether individual material buckling or overall buckling will occur first for each of the first building and the second building. With this configuration, it is easy to check whether individual member buckling or overall buckling will occur first in the design of a building, which reduces the burden of checking the results of buckling analysis when designing a building.

[0096] In addition, the display control device 1 may further include a designation means for designating a range corresponding to any one of the multiple shape information axes and multiple structural analysis result axes, and the display control unit may display on the display unit 101 on a single screen together with the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 a table image T1 which is an image representing in tabular form the first shape information and first structural analysis result information and the second shape information and second structural analysis result information which correspond to the range designated by the designation means. With this configuration, the information corresponding to the range specified by the specifying means can be confirmed by the table image, and detailed numerical values ​​of the information of interest to the user can be compared. Therefore, the burden required for confirming the results of the design when designing a building can be further reduced.

[0097] The designation means may designate a predetermined range on the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 along any one of a plurality of shape information axes and a plurality of structure analysis result axes. The multidimensional analysis chart image G1 makes it easy to confirm the correspondence between multiple pieces of information. On the other hand, in the multidimensional analysis chart image G1, it is not easy to confirm the detailed numerical values ​​of each piece of information. Here, by specifying a predetermined range on the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 that the user is paying attention to along any one of the multiple shape information axes and the multiple structural analysis result axes, for example, the numerical values ​​of the information in the specified range are displayed as a table image, making it easy to confirm the detailed numerical values. Therefore, the burden required to confirm the design results when designing a building can be further reduced.

[0098] In addition, the multidimensional analysis chart image G1 may display the first shape information, the second shape information, the first structural analysis result information, and the second structural analysis result information, as well as information corresponding to the costs of each of the first building and the second building. The cost of constructing a building is one of the items that must be considered in the design stage. In particular, when the building to be designed is large in scale, the cost fluctuates significantly depending on the materials and shape used, making it increasingly important to consider the cost. With the above configuration, the cost information for the construction of the building can be displayed in an easily visible form, making it easier to consider the cost information of candidate buildings. This further reduces the burden of checking the results of the design when designing a building.

[0099] Although the embodiments of this disclosure have been described in detail above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and designs that do not deviate from the gist of this disclosure are also included.

[0100] For example, the arrangement of the areas A1 to A4 on the display unit 101 is not limited to that of the present embodiment. For example, the positions of the areas A1 to A4 may be interchanged, and some of the areas A1 to A4 may not be displayed.

[0101] In addition, within the scope of the present disclosure, the components in the above-described embodiments may be replaced with well-known components as appropriate, and the above-described modified examples may be combined as appropriate. [Explanation of symbols]
