Abstract
This invention proposes a simulation apparatus which can simulate by easily coping with changes in component and model. A simulation apparatus simulates, using a system model, the dynamic performance of a target apparatus to be simulated, which includes a driving source and is constructed by a plurality of units for transmitting the driving force output from the driving source, and expresses the target apparatus by functional and data models. The functional model expresses each of units that construct the target apparatus by exchange of energy by the dynamic performance of that unit, and a parameter which determines that dynamic performance. The parameter for each unit is computed using static characteristic data read out from a memory, thus expressing each unit as a data model.
