Abstract
A computer-implemented method for simulating a polymer material comprising a polymer, a filler and a modifying agent for increasing the affinity of the polymer to the filler is disclosed. A pair of filler models are defined by a pair of parallelly-opposed wall surfaces of a virtual space in which the modified polymer models are disposed, and a molecular dynamics calculation is performed. In order to evaluate the affinity, the number of the particles of the modified polymer modelsmoved into and staying in a nearby-filler area is counted at constant time steps, and the variation of the counted numbers is smoothened by averaging every two or more successive counted numbers.
