Abstract
A method of storing substantial data integrating shape and physical properties comprising (A) inputting external dataconsisting of boundary data of an object, (B) dividing, by modified Octree division, the external data into cubical cellswhich boundary surfaces are orthogonal to each other, and (C) storing the values of various physical properties for each of the cells. Furthermore, in step (B), each of the divided cellsis classified to non-boundary cellslocated in the interior of the object or in a region outside of the object, and boundary cellsincluding boundary surfaces. Thereby, substantial data integrating shape and physical properties can be stored in small storage capacity, thus enabling the integration of CAD and simulation.
