Abstract
According to one embodiment, a design support method includes generating first layout data when first electronic components and first positions of the first electronic components on a printed circuit board are specified, computing temperature distribution data showing a temperature distribution on a surface of the board, acquiring a maximum thermal resistance temperature of the second electronic component when the second electronic component is specified, calculating a first temperature on the surface at a second position based on the temperature distribution data when the second position is specified, determining whether the second electronic component can be arranged at the second position based on the first temperature and the maximum thermal resistance temperature, and prohibiting generation of a second layout data when it is determined that the second electronic component can be arranged at the second position, the second layout data showing the first positions and the second position.
