[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fluid analysis device and an input data creation device for environment analysis simulation.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art With the spread of highly airtight and highly heat-insulated houses, it has become important to grasp in advance the energy consumption of one house and the state of heat load during air-conditioning operation by simulation. For this reason, in recent years, with the development of large-scale high-speed computers capable of vectorization calculation or simultaneous parallel processing, a computational grid having complicated boundary conditions has been generated in the space of a house, and materials and the like in the space have been generated. An apparatus that creates a group of equations expressing the changes and states of various substances using physical laws governing the change of phenomena and solves them using iterative calculations is widely used. For example, a flow analysis device using a thermal network method or a ventilation network method is an example of this device in a broad sense, and ESPAR / M is an example of a program used for this device.

[0003] The physical laws which are the premise of the above analysis,
Various formulas and techniques, such as the law of conservation of mass, the law of conservation of momentum, the law of conservation of energy, the method of coordinate division, the method of grid division (mesh division) of the space to be analyzed when using the finite difference method or the finite element method, and the like. Differences, judgment values used to judge whether or not to perform repetitive calculations, etc., how to give boundary conditions, methods for repetition when performing repetitive calculations, methods for solving determinants, and large high-speed electronic computers Is a well-known technique, for example,
A5 published in 1987, "Mechanical Engineering Handbook" edited by Japan Opportunity Society
Fluid Engineering, Information Processing Society of Japan “Handbook of Information Processing”
Published in 1989, Suhas. V. By Patankar Yukio Mizutani
Published by Shoji Kazuki, “Numerical Analysis of Heat Transfer and Flow by Computer,” published by Morikita Publishing. The results of the fluid analysis are also described, for example, in the Abstracts of Academic Lecture Meeting of the Architectural Institute of Japan (China), October 1990.
In addition, the floor plan of the building necessary for these calculations, various physical property values such as density and viscosity according to each temperature, pressure, etc. of equipment, fittings, air, etc., and conditions such as location, weather, season, etc. are input in advance. It is also a self-evident technique.

The input conditions of the environmental analysis simulation include, in addition to the above-described conditions, the life of the resident (occupied in the room).
A schedule, an operation schedule of equipment, and a calorific value of consumers and equipment are listed. Conventionally, an analyst has directly created a living schedule of a consumer and an operation schedule of equipment and devices from scratch.
Also, the calorific values of consumers and equipment are separately created and input in accordance with the above schedule. FIG. 4 shows an example of a life schedule of a consumer, and FIG. 5 shows an example of an operation schedule of facility equipment.

[0005] When preparing the living schedule of the resident and the operation schedule of the equipment, it is necessary to set a schedule for each occupant at what time, in which room and how to use the equipment. In addition, since the life schedule and the operation schedule of the equipment are not linked, the analyst must determine the operation schedule by grasping the entire life schedule of the consumer. In order to simplify this work, for example, in the symposium of the Society of Air Conditioning and Sanitary Engineers, based on the questionnaire results,
Attempts have been made to set and use standard living schedules for eight students, junior high school students, elementary school students, 70-year-old men and 70-year-old women.

An example of creating an input condition using the above-mentioned standard life schedule will be described below.

First, the shape, floor plan,
Equipment, fittings, geographical conditions, weather conditions, seasons, physical properties and the contents of external forces that cause flow, and various formulas and physical laws used for analysis are input via a CRT, keyboard, and the like.

Next, the above eight types of standard living schedules are selected for the resident who lives in the building.

Next, the operation schedule of the equipment is determined from the individual's living schedule.

Finally, while confirming that there is no interference in the life schedules of all the residents, the life schedule and the operation schedule of the equipment are corrected, and the heat values of the consumers and the equipment are adjusted according to the schedule. Set.

[0011]

However, when the above-mentioned method is adopted, the schedule of the resident is eight.
There are only different types of living schedules, and need to be modified later to accommodate all types of consumers. Further, in order not to consider the interference of the living schedules of the consumers, it is necessary to perform unnecessary work such as revising the living schedules of the entire consumers later. In addition, even if the life schedule of the consumer is determined, the operation schedule of the equipment is not linked to the modification of the life schedule. Is being done.

For this reason, in order to simulate the energy consumption of one house and the state of the heat load during air-conditioning operation, etc., an input for environment analysis simulation for accurately creating a life schedule of a consumer and an operation schedule of equipment and devices. Realization of a data creation device has been desired.
