Abstract
A shape simulation method includes dividing an analysis volume into a plurality of cells, defining an initial volume ratio of the volume of a substance in a cell to the volume of the cell for each cell, computing the in flow and the out flow of the substance in each cell every time a very small time period elapses, computing a volume ratio for each cell from the initial volume and the in flow and out flow of the substance every time a very small time period elapses, and simulating the surface shape of the substance with the cells having a volume ratio of a predetermined value.
