Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for analyzing and evaluating a numerical analysis result by a programmed computer, and more particularly to a technique suitable for improving the efficiency of creating an analysis result report in a three-dimensional model such as fluid analysis.

  In recent years, in the industrial and industrial fields, in order to reduce product development costs, for example, a CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) tool is used on a computer in the design stage of industrial machines such as aircraft, automobiles, railway vehicles, and ships. It is common to perform numerical analysis (simulation) of design and product performance, and analyze and evaluate the calculation results.

  In this case, it is necessary to leave the input / output data in a record such as a report as evidence (evidence, grounds). The numerical analysis results are output as a text file, but the output in the text file is an enumeration of numerical values and is difficult to evaluate instantaneously. In many cases, the calculation results are visualized, and isobaric lines, contour diagrams, etc. Record as an image.

  When creating a numerical analysis result report, first, the numerical analysis result is output as an image by a post processor, and the screen is captured by general-purpose image file generation software. This is repeated until the image data necessary for the report is obtained, and finally pasted into a word processor or the like to create a document.

  In the case of a three-dimensional model, in order to evaluate the inside of the analysis target, it is first necessary to display the internal state of the analysis target. In many cases, a cross-section to be analyzed is displayed based on the position to be evaluated. When there are a plurality of evaluation positions, the cross-sectional data is repeatedly displayed and the display screen is captured.

  Since this series of operations was performed manually, it took time and effort to create a report.

  Also, when there are a plurality of image data, the layout of the image pasting position may differ depending on the creator, and there is a problem that it is difficult to see when comparing other reports later.

  For this reason, there has been an increasing demand for efficient creation of numerical analysis result reports in a short time.

  For example, Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-122713) describes a technique for performing data processing and creating a report in a short time.

  However, with this technology, even if there are multiple data such as graphs, they are displayed superimposed on one area, so a layout setting function that allows multiple data to be displayed independently in separate areas There is no.

JP 2000-122713 A

  The problem to be solved is that in the conventional technique, the numerical analysis result report creation work was manually performed by the creator, and it took a lot of time. It is difficult to compare with other reports because of different layouts such as pasting position.

  The object of the present invention is to solve the conventional problems, enable automatic creation of a plurality of image data and determination of layout with simple settings, and efficiently create a numerical analysis result report in a short time. It is possible.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention visualizes numerical analysis results in a three-dimensional model such as fluid analysis and creates a result report in the numerical analysis result report creation system for visualizing the numerical analysis result data. Displays an operation screen for various settings such as display parameters, display cross-sectional position, visualized image file display area, and report layout, and stores them in the storage device in advance according to the settings on the displayed operation screen The selected numerical analysis result data to be processed is selected and read out, and each section image data is automatically created by setting various parameters such as display parameters, display section position, layout, etc. It is characterized by automatically creating a report by importing into the selected area. In addition, various setting contents such as a layout are stored in a storage device, and the setting information is repeatedly used.

  According to the present invention, in creating a numerical analysis result report, it is possible to extract visualization data in an arbitrary cross section / physical quantity from a vast amount of calculation results and automatically create an image file of the calculation results. The time required can be reduced, and the layout of the report can be unified by saving and reading the layout settings.

Data contents shown in data example 1102 of the analysis result report table are registered.

  Next, the processing in step S217 in FIG. 2 by the visualization data creation unit 107 in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the visualization data setting information obtained by the process of step S217 of FIG. 2 is fetched (step S301), and each information whose details are shown in FIG. 10 is obtained. Further, the numerical analysis result data is fetched from the numerical analysis result data table 303 corresponding to the numerical analysis result data table 102 of FIG. 1 (step S302).

  The numerical analysis result data is a numerical analysis (simulation) result calculated by another CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) tool using an analysis method such as a finite element method, which is a conventional technique, and a numerical analysis result data table 303. Stored in

  As the contents of the numerical analysis result data, information on a grid called a mesh and values such as pressure, flow velocity, and temperature for each node are described in a text format. Here, numerical analysis will be described.

  In numerical analysis, it is necessary to discretize the analysis region with a calculation grid called a mesh. In general, object shapes and spaces are handled as a collection of minute and simple shapes called elements.

  The shape of this element can be selected depending on the analysis purpose and method. In the case of a three-dimensional model, a tetrahedron (triangular pyramid) or hexahedron (cuboid) is mainly used. The hexahedral element is called a hexahedral element.

  A vertex at which the edges (ridge lines) constituting such an element intersect is called a node, and a physical quantity is calculated for each node as a numerical analysis result.

  Returning to FIG. 3, in step S304, elements existing on the cross-sectional position acquired in step S301 are extracted from such numerical analysis result data.

  Then, the element type of the extracted element is determined (step S305), and in the case of a hexahedral element, one hexahedron is divided into six tetrahedrons (step S306). In this case, the processing target element number N is 6 × Ni.

  In the case of a tetrahedron element, the process proceeds as it is (step S307).

  In this way, in this example, all elements are converted into tetrahedral elements regardless of the element type of the analysis result.

  Subsequently, for each of the N processing target elements, a collision point between the set cross section and the ridge line of each element is obtained (step S310), a triangle is formed as follows (step S311), and a two-dimensional cross section is obtained. Create data.

(1) When the number of collision points is two or less: No processing is performed.
(2) When there are three collision points: A triangle is formed by these three points.
(3) When there are four collision points: A quadrangle is formed with these four points, and is divided into two triangles.

  For the vertices of each triangle generated in this way, a physical quantity obtained by interpolation calculation is obtained from the physical quantity of each node of the original tetrahedral element (step S311).

  Interpolation in this interpolation calculation is to supplement and estimate the numerical value to be obtained based on some known numerical data.

  Finally, the pixel position in the visualization data (image data) is obtained from the coordinates of each vertex of the formed triangle, and the physical quantity obtained in step S311 is interpolated and calculated for each pixel inside the triangle to obtain each pixel value. And the triangle is colored (step S312).

  When the processes in steps S310 to S312 are repeated for all the elements to be processed (step S309), two-dimensional visualization data at the specified cross-sectional position is created. This visualization data is output as an image file (step S313).

  The processing of step S309 to step S313 is performed on all the visualization data setting information set in the processing of step 217 of FIG. 2 (step S308), and then the visualization data setting information is stored in the visualization data setting information table. (Step S 314), and when saving, input information is saved in the visualization data setting information table (step S 315). It returns to 101 (step S316).

  Next, it is possible to select whether or not to save the acquired layout setting information in the layout setting information table (110) (step S402). When saving, input information is saved in the layout setting information table (110) (step S402). After that, if not stored again, the process is returned to the numerical analysis result report creation system as it is (step S404).

  Next, the processing in step S229 of FIG. 2 by the report creation function unit 106 of FIG. 1 will be described using FIG.

  First, the visualization data setting information (203, 208) obtained by the process of step S217 of FIG. 2 is fetched (step S501), and then the layout setting information (214, 210) obtained by the process of step S227 of FIG. ) Is captured (step S502).

  An output report format is created according to the captured layout setting information (step S503), and output names, units, physical quantity ranges, and cross-sectional positions are inserted in numerical order according to the captured visualization data setting information (step S504).

  Furthermore, the image file 508 (209) automatically created by the visualization data creation unit 107 in the process of step S218 in FIG. 2 is taken in and inserted in numerical order (step S505).

  Then, the title, creator name, and date are inserted into the designated position (step S506), and the numerical analysis result report is saved in a file format (step S507).

The value of the content indicated by the data example 1102 bet table is registered in each entry.

  In FIG. 12, when the layout setting information having the contents shown in the layout setting information input screen 708 in FIG. 7 is used, the numerical value output by the report creation function unit 106 in FIG. 1 in the process of step S229 in FIG. An example of an analysis result report is shown.

  As described above with reference to FIGS. 1 to 12, in this example, in the numerical analysis result report creation system 101 that visualizes the numerical analysis result in a three-dimensional model such as fluid analysis and creates the result report. Operation screens (612, 708) for performing various settings such as display parameters and display cross-sectional positions for visualizing numerical analysis result data, display areas for visualized image files, and report layouts are displayed and displayed. Depending on the setting contents on the screen, the numerical analysis result data to be processed previously stored in the storage device is selected and read, and each section is automatically set by making various settings such as display parameters, display section position, layout, etc. In addition to creating image data, a report is automatically created by taking the image data into an area instructed to set. In addition, various setting contents such as a layout are stored in a storage device, and the setting information is repeatedly used.

  As described above, according to the numerical analysis result report creation system 101 of this example, in creating a numerical analysis result report, visualization data in an arbitrary cross section / physical quantity is extracted from an enormous calculation result, and an image file of the calculation result is automatically generated. The time required for report creation can be reduced, and the layout of the report can be unified by saving and reading the layout settings.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the example demonstrated using FIGS. 1-12, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the summary. For example, as described above, in this example, as shown in FIG. 1, the numerical analysis result is stored in the server-side information processing apparatus 100 connected to the client-side information processing apparatuses 116 and 117 via the networks 112 and 113. Although the configuration is such that the report creation system 101 is implemented, a configuration in which the numerical analysis result report creation system 101 is provided in one computer device that is not connected to the network may be employed.

  In this example, an optical disk is used as a recording medium. However, an FD (Flexible Disk) or the like may be used as a recording medium. As for the program installation, the program may be downloaded and installed via a network via a communication device.
