Simulation apparatus, simulation method therefor, and program for implementing the simulation method

摘要

A simulation apparatus which is capable of expressing a curling shape of a flexible medium such as a paper sheet in a simple manner, when evaluating functions of a conveying path. The behavior of a flexible medium conveyed in a conveying path is simulated. A display 56 displays at least one component in the conveying path defined in advance on a display screen. A CPU 51 interactively sets a shape of the flexible medium and an amount of curling of the flexible medium, the behavior of which in the conveying path is simulated on the display screen on which the component is displayed by the display 56.
