Method, apparatus and memory medium for supporting product development

摘要

In a product development support method and apparatus, an original solid model (S1) of a casing part of a vehicular air conditioner is formed (100), and an original solid model (S2) of an air space part in the casing part is formed (step 120) by using the solid model of the casing unit. Analysis impediment elements (43a, 43b, 51, 53) are searched (130). The analysis impediment elements which require a long period of time for calculation process are removed (140) from the solid model to determined an analysis solid model (S3). Flow analysis is performed (180) by applying boundary conditions to the analysis solid model which are divided into meshes. Analysis results are displayed (200) so that a product model may be finalized (250) based on the analysis results. <IMAGE>
