Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current structural analysis methods are time-consuming due to the complexity of setting analysis conditions for geometric shapes, particularly when the geometric shape of an article is changed, as existing techniques require manual input and management of multiple conditions.
Innovation Solution
A computer-readable recording medium stores a program that identifies auxiliary geometric shapes associated with specific analysis conditions, allowing for efficient simulation by reading design data and setting conditions based on identification information, thereby simplifying the process of structural analysis.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual input and management of analysis conditions is performed for each geometric shape change, then analysis conditions can be set accurately, but structural analysis takes a long time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining auxiliary geometric shapes and their associated analysis conditions in the design data before actual structural analysis is needed. When the geometric shape changes, the system can directly identify and apply the pre-prepared analysis conditions corresponding to the changed portions, eliminating the need for manual re-setting of conditions and significantly reducing analysis time while maintaining accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses copying by creating auxiliary geometric shapes that represent different geometric configurations of the article. These auxiliary shapes serve as templates or copies that can be automatically identified and applied when the actual geometric shape changes, allowing the system to reuse previously validated analysis conditions without manual intervention.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple analysis conditions are managed in association with design data, then comprehensive structural analysis can be performed, but the process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the management of multiple analysis conditions by integrating them into the auxiliary geometric shapes. Each auxiliary shape contains or is associated with multiple analysis conditions (boundary conditions, loading conditions, etc.), allowing the system to manage comprehensive analysis requirements through a unified structure rather than separate condition sets, thereby reducing process complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The auxiliary geometric shapes serve multiple functions: they represent geometric configurations, store identification information, and contain or link to multiple analysis conditions. This multi-functionality allows a single auxiliary shape to handle comprehensive structural analysis requirements without requiring separate management processes for each condition type.
3Reliability
If user input is required for setting boundary conditions and loading conditions, then analysis accuracy can be ensured, but operation efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling the system to automatically identify auxiliary geometric shapes and retrieve their associated analysis conditions from the design data without requiring user input. The system autonomously completes the condition-setting process by matching the current geometric configuration with the appropriate auxiliary shapes and applying their stored conditions, thereby maintaining accuracy while dramatically improving operation efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback by automatically identifying which auxiliary geometric shape corresponds to the current geometric configuration and retrieving the appropriate analysis conditions based on this identification. This feedback mechanism ensures that the correct pre-validated conditions are applied without user intervention, maintaining reliability while improving productivity.

AI summary
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium stores therein a program for causing a computer to execute a process for reading design data from a memory which stores the design data that indicates an auxiliary geometric shape and an article, the auxiliary geometric shape being arranged in association with a setting portion for which a condition for performing simulation for structural analysis of the article is set, and being assigned identification information including the condition; identifying the auxiliary geometric shape and the condition from the design data based on the identification information; setting the condition for the setting portion; and performing the simulation based on the condition.
