Abstract
Aspects of the present invention include a welding-position optimization analyzing method for spot welding or continuous welding of components constituting a structure model formed of plane elements and/or three-dimensional elements. The method includes defining a to-be-analyzed portion including welding points or welding portions at which the plurality of components are welded; defining at least one of the welding points or at least one of the welding portions in the defined to-be-analyzed portion as a fixed welding point or a fixed welding portion; specifying welding prospects in the to-be-analyzed portion, the welding prospects being regarded as prospects for the welding points or the welding portions; defining an analytic condition applied to the to-be-analyzed portion; and analyzing and/or calculating an optimal welding point or an optimal welding portion that satisfies the analytic condition from among the welding prospects.
