Abstract
The simulation apparatus includes mesh dividing section, process condition setting section, boundary surface simulating section for simulating a change in a shape of a boundary surface of the structure which change is caused from the process using the calculation condition set by the process condition setting section, level value determining section for determining level values each of which concerns a distance between one of the nodes and the boundary surface, and level value data retaining section for retaining, for each of the nodes, the level value in association with the boundary surface. The simulation apparatus makes it possible to express a number of materials being smaller in size than the mesh element. Consequently, the mesh element size can be set larger to improve the memory consumption amount and the calculation speed.
