Abstract
A computerized simulation method for evaluating dispersion of fillers in a high polymer material is disclosed, wherein the simulation step includes a link step in which filler particles which are approached to less than a predetermined distance to polymer particles, are linked to the polymer particles. The filler particles constituting each filler model are a single center filler particle and at least four surface filler particles of which centers are positioned on a spherical surface of which center coincides with the center of the center filler particle. Between the center filler particle and the surface filler particles and also between the surface filler particles, equilibrium lengths are respectively defined. The polymer particles can be linked to only the surface filler particles.
