Abstract
An equivalent material constant calculation system that calculates an equivalent material constant of a structure constituted by a plurality of materials includes a shape data input portion that inputs shape data, a material data input portion that inputs material constant data, a dividing portion that divides the structure into a plurality of small regions, and a small region interior calculation portion that calculates equivalent material constants in the small regions, in which the small region interior calculation portion, based on the shape data and material constant data, with a function that includes a value in a variable that expresses a position in at least one direction in the small region, expresses an equivalent material constant for a region that is a portion of a small region, and using the function, calculates an equivalent material constant for the small region with respect to the at least one direction.
