Abstract
A computerized simulation method for evaluating the dispersion of fillers in a high polymer material is disclosed. The method comprises: a simulation step in which, using filler models and polymer models placed in a predetermined virtual space, a molecular dynamics calculation is performed; and an evaluation step in which, from results of the simulation step, the dispersion of the filler models is evaluated. The evaluation step includes a step of computing a mean-square displacement of most influential particles for which a cutoff distance largest in the filler particle is defined. Thereby, the dispersion can be evaluated certainly at short times.
