Abstract
The invention provides a design evaluating method for assisting circuit-board-assembly, as well as an evaluation apparatus, for realizing high-quality, low-cost assembly by numerically evaluating any difference between targeted circuit design and actually performed circuit design, and further provides a recording medium having recorded thereon programs for executing the design evaluating method for assisting circuit-board-assembly. Concretely, an evaluation executing unit is provided and, after reading design evaluation programs from recording media on which the design evaluating programs have been recorded and prior to engineering-trial manufacture of a component-mounted-circuit board mounted components on the circuit board, at least one of a first design evaluation and a second design evaluation is executed. Accordingly, it is enabled to evaluate the appropriateness of a present circuit design before the engineering-trial manufacture, and thus high-quality, low-cost assembly can be realized.
