  Hereinafter, a CAE device and an analysis data input device according to the present invention will be described using embodiments. In the following embodiments, components and steps denoted by the same reference numerals are the same or equivalent, and repetitive description may be omitted.

(Embodiment 1)
A CAE device and an analysis data input device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The analysis data input device according to the present embodiment is provided with three interfaces for each person having a different understanding level and proficiency level.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of an analysis data input apparatus according to this embodiment. The CAE device 10 according to the present embodiment includes an analysis data input device 1, an analysis unit 20, and a post process unit 21.

  The analysis data input device 1 according to the present embodiment inputs analysis data that is data related to analysis in general-purpose analysis, and includes a structure correspondence information storage unit 11, a CAE menu information storage unit 12, and a processing flow information storage unit. 13, an interface storage unit 14, a preset information storage unit 15, an analysis data storage unit 16, an input reception unit 17, a display unit 18, and an input control unit 19.

  The structure correspondence information storage unit 11 stores structure correspondence information. The structure correspondence information is item identification information that is information for identifying items of analysis data used by the solver, and data structure information that is information for defining the structure of analysis data used by the solver for the items identified by the item identification information. Is information that associates. The analysis data items used by the solver are, for example, items such as “material properties” and “contact conditions” in setting the analysis conditions, “node coordinate values” and “element types” in creating the analysis model (analysis shape) Etc. This item may be called a keyword depending on the solver used. Also, the analysis data corresponding to this item may correspond to one card in card format editing. In addition, since the items used in the solver are generally described in terms of the solver, even the same contents may be different depending on the solver used.

  Here, “analysis data” is data relating to an analysis target in the CAE apparatus 10. The analysis data may include, for example, analysis condition data or analysis shape data. The analysis condition data may be, for example, physical property data indicating the material to be analyzed, heat conduction characteristics, or the like, analysis condition data indicating the initial condition, boundary condition, constraint condition, or the like of the analysis target. The analysis shape data is data of the shape (model) to be analyzed, such as data indicating the coordinate values and numbers of nodes, elements, and blocks. The analysis data input device 1 according to the present embodiment may input all of the analysis data, or may input a part of the analysis data. For example, the analysis data input device 1 may input analysis condition data, input analysis shape data, or both. When the analysis data input device 1 inputs a part of the analysis data, other analysis data used in the subsequent analysis unit 20 and the post-processing unit 21 may be separately input and recorded. You may read from a medium, you may receive what was transmitted, and the acquisition route is not ask | required.

  “Associating item identification information with data structure information” means that it is only necessary to acquire the other information from one of the item identification information and the data structure information. Therefore, the structure correspondence information may include information including item identification information and data structure information as a set, or may be information for linking item identification information and data structure information. In the latter case, the structure correspondence information may be, for example, information that associates item identification information with a pointer or address indicating the position where the data structure information is stored. In the present embodiment, the former case will be described. Further, the item identification information and the data structure information may not be directly associated with each other. For example, the third information may correspond to the item identification information, and the data structure information may correspond to the third information. The same applies when other two or more pieces of information are associated.

  The structure correspondence information may be information that associates item identification information, data structure information, and comment information that is information indicating a comment regarding an item identified by the item identification information. This comment information may be, for example, text data indicating know-how and points to be noted when performing settings related to items identified by item identification information corresponding to the comment information.

  The process of storing the structure correspondence information in the structure correspondence information storage unit 11 does not matter. For example, the structure correspondence information may be stored in the structure correspondence information storage unit 11 via a recording medium, and the structure correspondence information transmitted via a communication line or the like is stored in the structure correspondence information storage unit 11. Alternatively, the structure correspondence information input via the input device may be stored in the structure correspondence information storage unit 11. The storage in the structure correspondence information storage unit 11 may be temporary storage in a RAM or the like, or may be long-term storage. The structure correspondence information storage unit 11 can be realized by a predetermined recording medium (for example, a semiconductor memory, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, etc.).

  The CAE menu information storage unit 12 stores CAE menu information. The CAE menu information is information for associating process identification information, which is information for identifying a process, with item identification information corresponding to the process identified by the process identification information. The process (command) identified by the process identification information is a process related to setting of analysis data. For example, a process for setting analysis condition data (for example, a process for inputting material properties), a process for creating / changing analysis shape data (for example, a process for changing coordinate values of an analysis model), and the like. With this CAE menu information, the process identification information for identifying the process described in CAE terms and the items used in the solver, which are processes used by CAE professionals when inputting analysis data, are associated with each other. become. This correspondence may be a one-to-one correspondence, a one-to-many, a many-to-one correspondence, or a many-to-many correspondence. Generally, in setting analysis conditions, it is considered that there is often a one-to-one relationship between process identification information and item identification information. On the other hand, in creating an analysis model, it is considered that process identification information and item identification information often have a many-to-many relationship. This is because in the creation of an analysis model, analysis data relating to an analysis model over a plurality of items is often changed in a batch by processing such as “copy” or “drag”. Further, the process menu information may be information that associates the process identification information, the item identification information, and information indicating the process contents executed in the process identified by the process identification information. Moreover, this process may be hierarchized. That is, the upper process may have a structure including one or two or more lower processes. The depth of the hierarchy does not matter.

  The process in which the CAE menu information is stored in the CAE menu information storage unit 12 does not matter. For example, the CAE menu information may be stored in the CAE menu information storage unit 12 via a recording medium, and the CAE menu information transmitted via a communication line or the like is stored in the CAE menu information storage unit 12. Alternatively, the CAE menu information input via the input device may be stored in the CAE menu information storage unit 12. The storage in the CAE menu information storage unit 12 may be temporary storage in a RAM or the like, or may be long-term storage. The CAE menu information storage unit 12 can be realized by a predetermined recording medium (for example, a semiconductor memory, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, etc.).

  The process flow information storage unit 13 stores process flow information, which is information indicating the process flow by the order of process identification information for identifying the process. This processing flow information may include a part or all of the analysis data that must be set in the processing included in the processing flow information, or may not include the analysis data at all. When the processing flow information does not include any analysis data, the analysis data is input by the user when each process indicated by the flow corresponding to the processing flow information is executed. This processing flow information is information indicating the order of processing. However, when processing and items correspond one-to-one, it may be considered that the order of items is indicated by this processing flow information. it can. Further, the process whose order is indicated by the process identification information included in the process flow information may be a higher-order process that is actually executed. In that case, when the process is executed according to the process flow information, at least one of the lower processes included in the upper process is selected and executed by the operator.

  Note that the process of generating the processing flow information does not matter. For example, the processing flow information may be generated by manually inputting each piece of information included in the processing flow information, and the processing performed automatically by automatically recording the details of the operation performed by the operator. The flow information may be generated, or the processing flow information may be generated by manually correcting the processing flow information generated automatically.

  Moreover, the process in which process flow information is memorize | stored in the process flow information storage part 13 is not ask | required. For example, processing flow information may be stored in the processing flow information storage unit 13 via a recording medium, and processing flow information transmitted via a communication line or the like is stored in the processing flow information storage unit 13. Alternatively, the processing flow information input via the input device may be stored in the processing flow information storage unit 13. Storage in the processing flow information storage unit 13 may be temporary storage in a RAM or the like, or may be long-term storage. The processing flow information storage unit 13 can be realized by a predetermined recording medium (for example, a semiconductor memory, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, etc.).

  The interface storage unit 14 stores three types of interfaces, that is, a data input interface, a CAE menu interface, and a processing flow interface. The data input interface is an interface used by so-called solver professionals. The CAE menu interface is an interface used by so-called CAE professionals. The process flow interface is an interface used by so-called beginners. The interface stored in the interface storage unit 14 is information necessary for configuring an interface screen displayed on the display unit 18 described later.

  The data input interface is an interface for each item, and is an interface for inputting analysis data having a structure indicated by data structure information associated with item identification information for identifying the item. By using this data input interface, analysis data is input for each item. The data input interface stored in the interface storage unit 14 may be information for each item, or a source for generating an interface using the structure correspondence information stored in the structure correspondence information storage unit 11. May be the information. In the former case, since the data input interface for each item is prepared in advance, when the data input interface is displayed, the information stored in the interface storage unit 14 is simply read out and displayed. (However, the analysis data to be displayed on the interface may be read from the analysis data storage unit 16 and displayed as appropriate). In the latter case, when the data input interface is displayed, information stored in the interface storage unit 14 is read, and an interface is generated and displayed using the structure correspondence information. In any case, since the information stored in the interface storage unit 14 and the displayed interface correspond to each other, both are referred to as a data input interface. Even in the former case, the data input interface stored in the interface storage unit 14 may be automatically generated using the structure correspondence information. This data input interface indicates what data must be set for each item of analysis data used in the solver. Further, analysis data that must be set is set for each item via the data input interface. Since this data input interface is an interface for each item, the interface is highly dependent on the solver. Therefore, it will be used by solver professionals.

  The CAE menu interface is an interface for each process, and is an interface for inputting analysis data indicated by data structure information associated with item identification information corresponding to process identification information for identifying the process. As described above, in setting the analysis conditions, the CAE process and the analysis data items used in the solver usually correspond one-to-one, so the CAE menu interface corresponding to a certain process and the item corresponding to the process The data input interface corresponding to the above is used for inputting similar analysis data. However, while the data input interface is a description unique to the solver, the CAE menu interface is a description for CAE, so if you are a CAE professional, you can easily describe it in the CAE menu interface. Can understand. In creating an analysis model, the CAE process and the analysis data items used by the solver usually correspond to many-to-many, and therefore the input in the CAE menu interface corresponding to a certain process corresponds to the process. It can be input analysis data for multiple items. For example, when an entire analysis model is moved by a certain CAE menu interface, the coordinate values of items related to the position of the analysis model are changed collectively by the movement amount accordingly. become. Thus, the input of analysis data can include changes to existing analysis data. By this CAE menu interface, at least a screen for selecting CAE processing is displayed. In addition, the CAE menu interface indicates what data must be set for each CAE process selected in the display. Further, the data to be set is set through the CAE menu interface. When the CAE processing and the analysis data items used by the solver have a one-to-one correspondence, the interface for setting the data is shared with that used in the data input interface. Also good.

  The process flow interface is an interface that displays a process flow indicated by the process flow information. By this processing flow interface, at least a screen for selecting which processing flow information is displayed. Further, the flow of each process whose order is indicated by the process flow information selected in the display may be displayed in the process flow interface. The display may be displayed by, for example, associating an icon corresponding to each process included in the process flow information stored in the process flow information storage unit 13 with an arrow or the like along the flow. Also, when the processing flow information does not include all of the analysis data that must be set in the processing included in the processing flow information, that is, when at least part of the analysis data must be input by the operator In this case, the processing flow interface also performs display for inputting the analysis data. The display for inputting the analysis data may be shared with that used in the CAE menu interface corresponding to the input of the analysis data.

  These three types of interfaces may be, for example, form information described in a markup language such as XML, information described in DB 4GL, or other types of data. Good. For example, each interface is structured in the interface screen by interpreting and executing information specifying the structure described in XML or the like (this information is different for each interface) and information specifying the structure. (This program is commonly used for all three types of interfaces), and the method of configuring the interface is not limited. Note that a method of configuring an interface for inputting data is known as an interface for a database or the like, and a detailed description thereof is omitted. Further, each interface stored in the interface storage unit 14 may be information on a set of a plurality of interfaces instead of information on a single interface.

  Further, the process in which the three types of interfaces are stored in the interface storage unit 14 does not matter. For example, three types of interfaces may be stored in the interface storage unit 14 via a recording medium, and three types of interfaces transmitted via a communication line or the like may be stored in the interface storage unit 14. Alternatively, three types of interfaces input via the input device may be stored in the interface storage unit 14. The storage in the interface storage unit 14 may be temporary storage in a RAM or the like, or may be long-term storage. The interface storage unit 14 can be realized by a predetermined recording medium (for example, a semiconductor memory, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, etc.).

  The preset information storage unit 15 stores preset information. The preset information is information set in advance with respect to input of analysis data. The preset information may include preset analysis data that is analysis data set in advance, for example. This preset analysis data is a so-called template, and may correspond to analysis condition data, for example, or may correspond to analysis shape data. In the former case, the preset analysis data may be, for example, iron physical property data or aluminum physical property data. In the latter case, the preset analysis data may be, for example, model data of a model having a typical shape (for example, a shape such as a beam or a truss), or a dummy model used in automobile collision analysis. The shape data may be used.

  Further, the preset information may include preset input enable / disable information that is information set in advance as to whether or not analysis data can be input. Analysis data that can be input by the operator is distinguished from analysis data that cannot be input by this preset input availability information. The preset input availability information may be, for example, information that associates information identifying each data in the analysis data with information indicating whether input is possible (for example, a flag indicating whether input is possible). With this pre-set input availability information, for example, it may be possible to set so that analysis data that a beginner should not change carelessly cannot be input. In addition, the availability of input of analysis data specified by the preset input availability information may vary depending on the interface displayed by the display unit 18. For example, the preset input enable / disable information is set so that analysis data can be input in the data input interface for analysis data, and analysis data cannot be input in the CAE menu interface and the processing flow interface. Or, for some analysis data, the data input interface and the CAE menu interface can input analysis data, and the processing flow interface is set so that analysis data cannot be input. Good. Moreover, the setting may differ for every analysis data, or may not be so. In the latter case, for example, only the processing flow interface may define whether or not input is possible by the preset input enable / disable information (in this case, the data input interface and the CAE menu interface are preset). Regardless of the input availability information, all data can be input), or a processing flow interface and a CAE menu interface may be used (in this case, in the data input interface, the pre-set input availability information is displayed). Regardless, all data can be entered). In the present embodiment, a case will be described in which the availability of input is defined only by the processing flow interface by the preset input availability information. That is, in the processing flow interface that is considered to be used mainly by beginners, the input is limited according to the preset input availability information, and in the data input interface and CAE menu interface that are considered to be used mainly by solvers and CAE professionals, The case where the input restriction according to the preset input permission information is not performed will be described.

  The process of storing the preset information in the preset information storage unit 15 does not matter. For example, the preset information may be stored in the preset information storage unit 15 via a recording medium, and the preset information transmitted via a communication line or the like is stored in the preset information storage unit 15. Alternatively, the preset information input via the input device may be stored in the preset information storage unit 15. Storage in the preset information storage unit 15 may be temporary storage in a RAM or the like, or may be long-term storage. The preset information storage unit 15 can be realized by a predetermined recording medium (for example, a semiconductor memory, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, etc.).

  The analysis data storage unit 16 stores analysis data. As described above, the analysis data may include analysis condition data or analysis shape data. The analysis data stored in the analysis data storage unit 16 is normally analysis data input using the analysis data input device 1 according to the present embodiment, but other analysis data is stored in the analysis data storage unit. 16 may be stored. For example, as described above, the analysis condition data stored in the analysis data storage unit 16 is input using the analysis data input device 1, but the analysis shape stored in the analysis data storage unit 16 is used. The data may be received from another recording medium or device. In addition, the process in which the analysis data other than the data input using the analysis data input device 1 according to this embodiment is stored in the analysis data storage unit 16 is not limited. For example, analysis data may be stored in the analysis data storage unit 16 via a recording medium, and analysis data transmitted via a communication line or the like is stored in the analysis data storage unit 16. Alternatively, the analysis data input via the input device may be stored in the analysis data storage unit 16. The analysis data stored in the analysis data storage unit 16 is usually analysis data for each item identified by the item identification information. Storage in the analysis data storage unit 16 may be temporary storage in a RAM or the like, or may be long-term storage. The analysis data storage unit 16 can be realized by a predetermined recording medium (for example, a semiconductor memory, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, etc.).

  The input receiving unit 17 receives an input. The input receiving unit 17 may receive information input from an input device (for example, a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, etc.), or may receive information transmitted via a wired or wireless communication line. Information read from a predetermined recording medium (for example, an optical disk, a magnetic disk, a semiconductor memory, etc.) may be received. In the present embodiment, the case where the input receiving unit 17 receives an input from an input device such as a keyboard or a mouse will be described. Note that the input reception unit 17 may or may not include a device (for example, a modem or a network card) for reception. The input receiving unit 17 may be realized by hardware, or may be realized by software such as a driver that drives a predetermined device.

  The display unit 18 displays a data input interface, a CAE menu interface, or a process flow interface. Further, the display unit 18 may display the input analysis data, or may display a result of a post process described later. The display unit 18 may or may not include a display device (for example, a CRT or a liquid crystal display) that performs such display. When the display unit 18 does not include a display device, the display unit 18 may output information to be displayed to the display device. The output may be a transmission. The display unit 18 may be realized by hardware, or may be realized by software such as a driver that drives a display device.

  The input control unit 19 causes the display unit 18 to display an interface corresponding to the interface selection instruction received by the input receiving unit 17. Further, the input control unit 19 accumulates the analysis data received by the input reception unit 17 in the analysis data storage unit 16 via the interface displayed by the display unit 18. The analysis data received via the interface is the analysis data received using the interface, for example, the meaning of the analysis data input using the input field of the interface. The analysis data stored in the analysis data storage unit 16 by the input control unit 19 may or may not be the analysis data itself received by the input reception unit 17. The analysis data that is not the analysis data itself received by the input receiving unit 17 is, for example, when the input receiving unit 17 receives an instruction for processing to move the position of the analysis model, and the analysis model after movement according to the instruction The coordinate value of Even in this case, the analysis data is in accordance with the instruction received by the input receiving unit 17, and therefore, in the present embodiment, it is expressed as the analysis data received by the input receiving unit 17. The accumulation of the analysis data in the analysis data storage unit 16 may be a new accumulation, or may be an overwrite of existing analysis data. In the latter case, the analysis data is changed.

  The input control unit 19 may control the input of analysis data using the preset information. For example, the input control unit 19 reads out the preset analysis data stored in the preset information storage unit 15 according to the instruction received by the input reception unit 17 and stores the preset analysis data in the analysis data storage unit 16. You may accumulate. Further, for example, the input control unit 19 may control whether or not the input receiving unit 17 can accept the analysis data in accordance with the preset input availability information stored in the preset information storage unit 15. That is, the input control unit 19 controls not to accept the data that is set so as not to be input by the preset input permission information, and the data that is set to be input can be Data may be received and stored in the analysis data storage unit 16. Further, the input control unit 19 may read the analysis data already stored in the analysis data storage unit 16 and display it via the interface displayed on the display unit 18. Further, the input control unit 19 may control the display unit 18 to display the analysis data indicating that the input is not accepted by the preset input availability information, and does not accept the input by the preset input availability information. Control may be performed so that the display unit 18 does not display the analysis data indicating that the analysis data is indicated. In the former case, even if input is not possible, the operator can see the analysis data, an input field for inputting the analysis data, and the like. In the latter case, the operator cannot see analysis data that cannot be input. In the present embodiment, the former case will be described. The “display related to analysis data indicating that input is not accepted” may be a display of analysis data itself, or a display related to an interface for inputting analysis data, for example, an input field display. .

  Further, when the data input interface is displayed, the input control unit 19 also accepts input of comment information for an item corresponding to the data input interface by the input accepting unit 17, and the comment information is represented by the structure correspondence information. You may control so that it may be matched with the item identification information which identifies an item. Note that, even when an interface other than the data input interface is displayed, the input control unit 19 also receives input of comment information for an item corresponding to the displayed interface by the input receiving unit 17, and the comment information is The structure correspondence information may be controlled so as to be associated with item identification information for identifying the item. In addition, when the display unit 18 displays a data input interface, the input control unit 19 may perform control so that comment information corresponding to the data input interface is also displayed. The “comment information corresponding to the data input interface” strictly means the comment information corresponding to the item corresponding to the data input interface. Note that the input control unit 19 may perform control so that comment information for an item corresponding to the displayed interface is also displayed when an interface other than the data input interface is displayed.

  The analysis unit 20 performs analysis using the analysis data stored in the analysis data storage unit 16. The processing of the analysis unit 20 is known as solver analysis processing in the pre-post system, and detailed description thereof is omitted. For example, the analysis unit 20 may analyze the analysis data using an analysis method such as a finite element method.

  The post process unit 21 displays the analysis result by the analysis unit 20 on the display unit 18. The processing of the post processing unit 21 is known as post processing in a poly post system, and detailed description thereof is omitted. For example, the post-processing unit 21 may perform animation display of analysis results, data output of node coordinate values, and the like.

  Note that any one of the structure correspondence information storage unit 11, the CAE menu information storage unit 12, the processing flow information storage unit 13, the interface storage unit 14, the preset information storage unit 15, and the analysis data storage unit 16. These two or more storage units may be realized by the same recording medium, or may be realized by separate recording media. In the former case, for example, an area storing the structure correspondence information is the structure correspondence information storage unit 11, and an area storing the CAE menu information is the CAE menu information storage unit 12.

  Next, operations of the CAE device 10 and the analysis data input device 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

  (Step S101) The analysis data input device 1 performs processing for inputting analysis data, that is, processing for accumulating analysis data in the analysis data storage unit 16. Details of this processing will be described later with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  (Step S <b> 102) The analysis unit 20 performs analysis using the analysis data stored in the analysis data storage unit 16.

  (Step S <b> 103) The post process unit 21 executes the post process using the result analyzed by the analysis unit 20. Then, a series of processes in the CAE device 10 is completed.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing details of the process of inputting analysis data (step S101) in the flowchart of FIG.

  (Step S201) The input control unit 19 determines whether or not the input receiving unit 17 has received an interface (I / F) selection instruction. If accepted, the process proceeds to step S202. If not, the process proceeds to step S210.

  (Step S202) The input control unit 19 determines whether or not a data input interface has been selected in accordance with an interface selection instruction received by the input receiving unit 17. If the data input interface is selected, the process proceeds to step S203, and if not, the process proceeds to step S205.

  (Step S203) The input control unit 19 reads out the data input interface from the interface storage unit 14, and causes the display unit 18 to display the data input interface.

  (Step S204) The input control unit 19 or the like performs processing of inputting analysis data using a data input interface. Then, the process returns to step S201. Details of this processing will be described later with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  (Step S205) The input control unit 19 determines whether or not the CAE menu interface is selected in accordance with the interface selection instruction received by the input receiving unit 17. If the CAE menu interface is selected, the process proceeds to step S206. If not, the process flow interface is selected, and the process proceeds to step S208.

  (Step S206) The input control unit 19 reads the CAE menu interface from the interface storage unit 14, and causes the display unit 18 to display the CAE menu interface.

  (Step S207) The input control unit 19 and the like perform processing of inputting analysis data using the CAE menu interface. Then, the process returns to step S201. Details of this processing will be described later with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  (Step S208) The input control unit 19 reads the processing flow interface from the interface storage unit 14 and causes the display unit 18 to display the processing flow interface.

  (Step S209) The input control unit 19 or the like performs analysis data input processing or the like using the processing flow interface. Then, the process returns to step S201. Details of this process will be described later with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  (Step S210) The input control unit 19 determines whether or not to end the process of inputting analysis data. If the process is to end, the process returns to the flowchart of FIG. 2, and if not, the process returns to step S201. In the input control unit 19, for example, when the input receiving unit 17 receives information indicating that the input process of analysis data is to be completed, or the input receiving unit 17 receives an instruction to execute analysis using analysis data. In such a case, the analysis data input process may be determined to be terminated.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing details of the process of inputting analysis data (step S204) using the data input interface in the flowchart of FIG.

  (Step S301) The input control unit 19 determines whether the input receiving unit 17 has received an input for selecting an item. If accepted, the process proceeds to step S302; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S311.

  (Step S <b> 302) The input control unit 19 determines whether new analysis data is input or whether existing analysis data is corrected by selecting an item received by the input reception unit 17. When new analysis data is input, the process proceeds to step S303, and when existing analysis data is corrected, the process proceeds to step S304.

  (Step S303) The input control unit 19 generates new analysis data corresponding to the selected item using the data structure information associated with the item in the structure correspondence information. Since the data itself is not input, analysis data in which each data is blank is generated.

  (Step S <b> 304) The input control unit 19 reads analysis data corresponding to the selected item from the analysis data storage unit 16.

  (Step S305) The input control unit 19 displays new analysis data or read analysis data on the data input interface displayed on the display unit 18.

  (Step S306) The input control unit 19 determines whether the input receiving unit 17 has received analysis data. The reception of the analysis data may be reception of the analysis data itself or an instruction to select preset analysis data.

  (Step S307) The input control unit 19 temporarily stores the analysis data received by the input receiving unit 17 in a recording medium (not shown). When the input receiving unit 17 receives an instruction to select the preset analysis data, the input control unit 19 reads the selected preset analysis data from the preset information storage unit 15 and temporarily stores the selected preset analysis data. Store in a recording medium (not shown). Further, the input control unit 19 performs control so that the input analysis data is displayed on the data input interface displayed on the display unit 18. As a result, the operator can confirm the input analysis data. Then, the process returns to step S306.

  (Step S308) The input control unit 19 determines whether or not to update the analysis data of the item displayed on the display unit 18 with the current contents. Updating means updating the analysis data stored in the analysis data storage unit 16 with the analysis data temporarily stored in step S307. In the case of the first input of analysis data, the analysis data of the item is newly accumulated. And when updating, it progresses to step S309, and when that is not right, it progresses to step S310. For example, when the input receiving unit 17 receives an instruction to update, the input control unit 19 may determine to update.

  (Step S309) The input control unit 19 accumulates the analysis data temporarily stored in Step S307 in the analysis data storage unit 16. If the same analysis data is already stored in the analysis data storage unit 16, the input control unit 19 may or may not accumulate the analysis data by overwriting. When not overwriting, it is preferable to accumulate analysis data so that the latest analysis data can be specified. For example, the input control unit 19 may store date / time information in which the analysis data is stored in association with the analysis data.

  (Step S310) The input control unit 19 determines whether or not to end the input of analysis data corresponding to the selected item. If the process is to end, the process returns to step S301; otherwise, the process returns to step S306. When the input receiving unit 17 receives an instruction to end the input of analysis data corresponding to the selected item, or the input receiving unit 17 receives an instruction to select another item. In this case, it may be determined that the input of the analysis data corresponding to the item is finished.

  (Step S311) The input control unit 19 determines whether or not to end the input of analysis data using the data input interface. If the process is to end, the process returns to the flowchart of FIG. 3, and if not, the process returns to step S301. For example, when the input receiving unit 17 receives an instruction to end the input of analysis data using the data input interface, or when the input receiving unit 17 receives an instruction to select another interface. In addition, it may be determined that the input of the analysis data using the data input interface is finished.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing details of the analysis data input process (step S207) using the CAE menu interface in the flowchart of FIG.

  (Step S401) The input control unit 19 determines whether or not the input receiving unit 17 has received an input for selecting processing of the analysis condition. If accepted, the process proceeds to step S402, and if not, the process proceeds to step S406.

  (Step S402) The input control unit 19 specifies item identification information associated with the process identification information for identifying the selected process by the CAE menu information, and analysis data of the item identified by the item identification information Is stored in the analysis data storage unit 16, the analysis data is displayed on the display unit 18. This display may be, for example, a list display of the analysis data list. Further, when no analysis data corresponding to the analysis data storage unit 16 is stored at all, the input control unit 19 may display the fact on the display unit 18.

  (Step S403) The input control unit 19 determines whether or not the input receiving unit 17 has received an instruction to select processing contents for the analysis data displayed in step S402 or new analysis data. If accepted, the process proceeds to step S404; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S405. In this case, when the processing content for the existing analysis data is selected, it is assumed that the existing analysis data to be processed is selected along with the selection of the processing content.

  (Step S <b> 404) The input control unit 19 executes processing according to the selected processing content. This processing content includes, for example, creating new analysis data, editing existing analysis data, checking existing analysis data, deleting existing analysis data, and clearing data content of existing analysis data. It may be a process, a process of displaying a list of existing analysis data, or the like. The editing process for existing analysis data and the editing process performed after new analysis data is created are the same as the analysis data input process using the data input interface. In this case, the input control unit 19 specifies the item identification information associated with the CAE menu information in the process identification information for identifying the process selected in step S401, and the structure identification is associated with the item identification information. By specifying the data structure information associated with the information, an interface for inputting analysis data may be generated and displayed on the display unit 18, or data corresponding to the specified item identification information The input interface may be read out and displayed on the display unit 18. Note that such edited analysis data is stored in the analysis data storage unit 16. The accumulation may be new accumulation as appropriate, or accumulation by overwriting. When the analysis data check process is selected, the input control unit 19 checks the analysis data and causes the display unit 18 to display the check result. When the analysis data deletion process is selected, the input control unit 19 deletes the selected analysis data from the analysis data storage unit 16. When analysis data clear processing is selected, the input control unit 19 blanks each piece of selected analysis data. When the processing for displaying the analysis data list is selected, the input control unit 19 causes the display unit 18 to display the analysis data list.

  (Step S405) The input control unit 19 determines whether or not to end the process selected in step S401. If the process is to end, the process returns to step S401; otherwise, the process returns to step S403.

  (Step S406) The input control unit 19 determines whether or not the input receiving unit 17 has received an input for selecting a process related to the analysis model. If accepted, the process proceeds to step S407, and if not, the process proceeds to step S408.

  (Step S407) The input control unit 19 executes processing relating to the selected analysis model. For example, if the process is to change the position of the analysis model, the process of changing the coordinate value of the analysis model stored in the analysis data storage unit 16 is performed accordingly. Through the processing, all or part of the analysis shape data stored in the analysis data storage unit 16 may be changed. Then, the process returns to step S401. In the processing, data received by the input receiving unit 17 may be used as appropriate, or display by the display unit 18 may be performed.

  (Step S408) The input control unit 19 determines whether or not to end the input of analysis data using the CAE menu interface. If the process is to end, the process returns to step S3. If not, the process returns to step S401. For example, when the input receiving unit 17 receives an instruction to end the input of analysis data using the CAE menu interface, or when the input receiving unit 17 receives an instruction to select another interface. In addition, it may be determined that the input of analysis data using the CAE menu interface is completed.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing details of the analysis data input process (step S209) using the process flow interface in the flowchart of FIG.

  (Step S501) The input control unit 19 determines whether the input receiving unit 17 has received an input for selecting a processing flow. If accepted, the process proceeds to step S502, and if not, the process proceeds to step S511.

  (Step S502) The input control unit 19 reads out the processing flow information corresponding to the selected processing flow from the processing flow information storage unit 13. The read processing flow information may be temporarily stored in a recording medium (not shown).

  (Step S503) The input control unit 19 executes one process to be executed at that time among the processes whose order is indicated by the read process flow information. In the execution of this processing, processing such as storage of analysis data in the analysis data storage unit 16 using information included in the processing flow information may be performed. Further, the display unit 18 may be controlled so that information indicating the processing position at that time is displayed on the processing flow interface.

  (Step S504) The input control unit 19 determines whether or not the processing is completed. For example, when all of the analysis data that must be set is available (for example, when all of the analysis data that must be set is included in the processing flow information, or part of it is included in the processing flow information If the rest is received by the input receiving unit 17), the process is completed. On the other hand, when part or all of analysis data or the like that must be set must be input by the operator, the processing is not completed. If it is completed, the process proceeds to step S505. If it is not completed, the process proceeds to step S508.

  (Step S505) The input control unit 19 refers to the read process flow information and determines whether there is a process next to the process that has been executed at that time. If there is a next process, the process proceeds to step S506. If not, the series of processes indicated by the process flow information is completed, and the process returns to step S501.

  (Step S506) The input control unit 19 determines whether selection by the operator is necessary to proceed to the next process. If selection by the operator is necessary, the process proceeds to step S507. If not, the process returns to step S503 to execute the next process.

  (Step S507) The input control unit 19 causes the display unit 18 to display information indicating that an operator's selection is requested, and determines whether the input receiving unit 17 has received a selection according to the request. If the selection is accepted, the process returns to step S503 to execute the selected process. If the selection is not accepted, the process of step S507 is repeated until the selection is accepted.

  (Step S508) The input control unit 19 causes the display unit 18 to display information to request input by the operator, and determines whether the input receiving unit 17 has received an input in response to the request. If the input is accepted, the process proceeds to step S509. If not, the process of step S508 is repeated until the input is accepted.

  (Step S509) The input control unit 19 refers to the preset input availability information stored in the preset information storage unit 15, and whether or not the input accepted by the input accepting unit 17 in step S508 is inputable. to decide. If the input is possible, the process proceeds to step S510. If the input is not possible, the input content is discarded and the process returns to step S508. In addition, you may display on the display part 18 that the input content was discarded.

  (Step S510) The input control part 19 performs the process according to the input received by step S508. For example, when analysis data is input, processing for accumulating the analysis data may be performed. Then, the process returns to step S504.

  (Step S511) The input control unit 19 determines whether or not to end input of analysis data using the processing flow interface. If the process is to end, the process returns to the flowchart of FIG. 3, and if not, the process returns to step S501. For example, when the input receiving unit 17 receives an instruction to end the input of analysis data using the processing flow interface, or when the input receiving unit 17 receives an instruction to select another interface. In addition, it may be determined that the input of analysis data using the processing flow interface is completed.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 6, whether or not the process is completed in each process may be defined in the process flow information. For example, if you want the operator to check the settings, when a certain process is completed, display the settings and temporarily stop the process, and the operator will proceed to the next process. Depending on the input of the instruction, the process may proceed to the next process.

  Each of the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 is an example of processing for inputting analysis data using each interface, and it goes without saying that the analysis data may be input by another processing sequence.

  Next, operations of the CAE device 10 and the analysis data input device 1 according to the present embodiment will be described using specific examples.

  In this specific example, it is assumed that the structure correspondence information storage unit 11 stores the structure correspondence information shown in FIG. The structure correspondence information in FIG. 7 is information that associates item identification information, item names, data structure information, and comment information. The data structure information has a data ID for identifying data and a data type indicating the type of data identified by the data ID. For example, the data structure information indicates that the item identified by the item identification information “MAT” corresponding to the item name “material property” includes the data ID “name”, “unit volume mass”, “Young's modulus”, and the like. It is. The data structure information indicates that the data type corresponding to the data ID “name”, “unit volume mass”, “Young's modulus”, and the like is “character”, “numerical value”, “numerical value”, and the like. With this data structure information, it is possible to know the format of data included in each item. The comment information is blank because it is input by the operator.

  In this specific example, it is assumed that the CAE menu information storage unit 12 stores the CAE menu information shown in FIG. The CAE menu information in FIG. 8 is information for associating process identification information, process name, process content, and item identification information. In this CAE menu information, a record whose processing content or item identification information is blank is information indicating a higher level process. In this specific example, the process identified by the process identification information “C * 000” includes the process identified by the process identification information “C *? 00” as a lower-level process. Further, the process identified by the process identification information “C *? 00” includes the process identified by the process identification information “C *? $ #” As a lower-level process. Note that “*”, “?”, “$”, And “#” are arbitrary numbers from 0 to 9 (however, “?” Is not 0, and the combination of “$ = 0, # = 0” Make it not exist). Therefore, in the case of the CAE menu information of FIG. 8, the processes identified by C1100 and C1200 are included in the processes identified by C1000. Further, the processing identified by C1100 includes processing identified by C1101, C1102, C1103, and the like, and the processing identified by C1200 includes processing identified by C1201 and the like. Become. The processing at the lowest level includes the processing content and item identification information. The processing contents are processing contents executed in the processing. In the case of FIG. 8, CREATE (creation), MODIFY (editing), CHECK (check), REMOVE (deletion), CLEAR (clear), LIST (list) )It is included. Since the CAE menu information shown in FIG. 8 is CAE menu information corresponding to the analysis condition data, each record has only one item identification information. However, in the case of CAE menu information corresponding to the analysis shape data. Each record may have one or more item identification information.

  In this specific example, it is assumed that the processing flow information storage unit 13 stores the processing flow information shown in FIG. In the processing flow information of FIG. 9, the name “definition of physical properties” of the processing flow information is included at the head, and each processing is shown subsequently. Each process includes an ID for identifying the process in the process flow, process identification information corresponding to the process, and each data to be set by the process identification information. Note that when data is input by an operator, each data to be set may not be included. In addition, this processing is executed sequentially from the top, but after that processing, “Do you want to edit?” Is displayed after the processing, like the processing of ID = 015, and the display is made. On the other hand, when Yes is input, the process jumps to the process of ID = 017, and when No is input, the process jumps to the process of ID = 021. Also good. In each process in the process flow information, even if each data to be set in the process is included in the process flow information, each data is confirmed by the operator, or each data is It may be decided whether to temporarily stop the process.

  In this specific example, it is assumed that the preset information storage unit 15 stores preset analysis data shown in FIG. 10 and preset input enable / disable information shown in FIG. In the preset analysis data in FIG. 10, names, item identification information, and analysis data are associated with each other. The name is a name displayed when selecting preset analysis data. The item identification information indicates which item data the analysis data is. The analysis data has a data ID and data associated with each other. In the case of analysis data corresponding to the item identification information “MAT” in FIG. 10, the name is “iron”, the unit volume mass is “7900”, the Young's modulus is “205”, and the like. . In the preset input availability information in FIG. 11, item identification information, a data ID, and input availability information are associated with each other. This information indicates whether or not the data identified by each data ID can be input in the item identified by each item identification information. When the input availability information is “1”, it can be input, and when the input availability information is “0”, it cannot be input. Therefore, it can be understood that the name can be input in the item identified by the item identification information “MAT”, but the unit volume mass and Young's modulus cannot be input. As described above, the input restriction using the preset input permission information is performed only when the analysis data is input using the processing flow interface.

  Next, specific processing of the CAE apparatus 10 will be described. First, it is assumed that the operator operates the CAE device 10 to activate a pre-post system application and select processing for inputting analysis data. Then, the analysis data input device 1 executes processing for inputting analysis data (step S101). Here, the analysis data input using the data input interface, the analysis data input using the CAE menu interface, and the analysis data input using the processing flow interface will be described in order.

[Input analysis data using the data input interface]
First, a case where an operator inputs analysis data using a data input interface will be described. It is assumed that the operator selects a tab corresponding to the “data input interface” by operating a pointing device such as a mouse. Then, the input receiving unit 17 receives a data input interface selection instruction (step S201), and the input control unit 19 determines that a data input interface has been selected (step S202). Then, the input control unit 19 reads out the data input interface from the interface storage unit 14 and displays it on the display unit 18 (step S203). As a result, it is assumed that the information on the left frame (window) in FIG. 12 is displayed. In the information in the left frame, the display indicating each item such as “MAT”, “HOURGLASS”, and “EF” is included in advance in the data input interface as an interface corresponding to the left frame. On the other hand, “MAT1” or the like displayed below the display of each item is analysis data identification that is information for identifying analysis data corresponding to each item read from the analysis data storage unit 16 by the input control unit 19. Information. It is assumed that the read analysis data identification information is displayed below the items corresponding to the analysis data identification information. In this case, it is assumed that analysis data identified by each analysis data identification information is blank information.

  It is assumed that the operator clicks “MAT1” by operating the pointing device. Then, the operation is received by the input receiving unit 17, and the input control unit 19 selects the analysis data identification information “MAT1” in the item identified by the item identification information “MAT”. It is determined that the analysis is performed (steps S301 and S302), and the analysis data identified by the analysis data identification information “MAT1” is read from the analysis data storage unit 16 (step S304). In addition, the input control unit 19 reads out form information for inputting analysis data for each item included in the data input interface from the interface storage unit 14 and also has a data structure corresponding to the item identification information “MAT”. Interface for reading information and comment information from structure correspondence information and inputting analysis data for an item identified by item identification information “MAT” using the form information, data structure information, and comment information Create Then, the input control unit 19 displays the read data in the created interface on the display unit 18 (step S305). As a result, the right frame (window) in FIG. 12 is displayed. As described above, since each data in the analysis data is blank, each input field in the interface is in a blank state as shown in the right frame of FIG.

  Next, it is assumed that the operator inputs a name “iron”, a unit volume mass “7900”, a Young's modulus “205”, and the like by operating a pointing device or a keyboard (step S306). Then, those data are temporarily stored by the input control part 19 (step S307). The input data is displayed on the corresponding input field by the display unit 18.

  When the operator clicks on the “preliminary analysis data” pull-down menu, the input control unit 19 refers to the preset analysis data shown in FIG. 10 and refers to the name “iron” corresponding to the item identification information “MAT”. "Aluminum", etc. are acquired and their names are displayed as each menu in the pull-down menu. When one of the menus is selected, the analysis data corresponding to the menu is read from the preset analysis data, and the analysis data is temporarily stored and displayed in each input field ( Steps S306 and S307). Note that the operator can input a portion that is not sufficient in the analysis data fetched from the preset analysis data, and can change the analysis data if desired.

  Next, when the operator clicks the “update” button, the input accepting unit 17 accepts that the update is to be performed, and the input control unit 19 determines to perform the update (step S308). Then, information such as the name “iron” that is temporarily stored is accumulated in the analysis data storage unit 16, and when a comment is described, the comment information that is the information of the comment is changed to the structure correspondence information. The structure correspondence information stored in the storage unit 11 is accumulated as comment information associated with the item identification information “MAT” (step S309). As a result, the analysis data storage unit 16 stores the analysis data shown in FIG. In the analysis data of FIG. 15, analysis data identification information, item identification information, and analysis data are associated with each other. Note that after the data is accumulated, the input control unit 19 may delete the data temporarily stored until then.

  In the display of FIG. 12, when the operator clicks the “Close” button, the input accepting unit 17 accepts that the frame is closed, and the input control unit 19 finishes input of analysis data corresponding to the item. Then, it is determined (step S310), and the right frame is closed without storing analysis data or the like. Further, the input control unit 19 may delete the data temporarily stored until then.

[Input analysis data using the CAE menu interface]
Next, a case where the operator inputs analysis data using the CAE menu interface will be described. It is assumed that the operator selects a tab corresponding to the “CAE menu interface” by operating the pointing device. Then, the input receiving unit 17 receives a CAE menu interface selection instruction (step S201), and the input control unit 19 determines that the CAE menu interface has been selected (step S205). Then, the input control unit 19 reads the CAE menu interface from the interface storage unit 14 and displays it on the display unit 18 (step S206). As a result, the information in the left frame (window) in FIG. 13 is displayed. This left frame is an interface in which each process in setting analysis conditions and creating an analysis model can be selected using tabs, pull-down menus, and buttons. In the interface, each button is associated with process identification information for identifying the process corresponding to the button. When the button is selected by clicking or the like, it corresponds to the selected button. It is assumed that the process identification information to be received is received by the input receiving unit 17.

  In the left frame of FIG. 13, there are a tab for setting analysis conditions and a tab for creating an analysis model. By selecting each tab, processing corresponding to that tab is displayed. In FIG. 13, the analysis condition setting tab is selected, and “analysis model physical property” is selected from the pull-down menu, and therefore buttons for each process included in the analysis model physical property are displayed. As shown in FIG. 13, when the “material properties” button is clicked, the fact that the “material identification” button has been selected, that is, the processing identified by the processing identification information “C1101” has been selected. Accepted by the accepting unit 17, the input control unit 19 determines that an input for selecting the processing of the analysis condition has been accepted because the analysis unit setting tab has been selected by the display unit 18 (step S 401). Further, the input control unit 19 refers to the CAE menu information shown in FIG. 8 and reads the item identification information “MAT” associated with the process identification information “C1101” for identifying the selected process, and the item The analysis data associated with the identification information is read from the analysis data storage unit 16, and the analysis data identification information of the read analysis data is displayed as shown in FIG. 13 (step S402). Here, “MAT1” is displayed.

  When the operator clicks and selects “MAT1” in the display of FIG. 13 and then clicks the “edit” button, the input receiving unit 17 causes the analysis data identified by the analysis data identification information “MAT1” to be “ “Edit” is accepted. The input control unit 19 determines that the analysis data identified by the analysis data identification information “MAT1” is “edited” (step S403), and the analysis data identified by the analysis data identification information “MAT1” is determined. The data is read from the analysis data storage unit 16 and displayed on the display unit 18 including each read data in the interface corresponding to the item identification information “MAT” corresponding to the selected process. As a result, the right frame (window) in FIG. 13 is displayed. Note that the interface generation method according to the item identification information “MAT” is the same as that when inputting analysis data using the data input interface, and a description thereof will be omitted. Here again, since each data in the analysis data is blank, it is assumed that each input field in the interface is blank as shown in the right frame of FIG. Thereafter, the process of inputting each data and accumulating the data is the same as in the case of the data input interface, and the description thereof is omitted. As described above, in the process of setting the analysis condition using the CAE menu interface, the same process as that of the data input interface is performed (step S404). As described above, since the interface for inputting analysis data related to setting of analysis conditions is usually the same as that used in the data input interface, some of the CAE menu interface and the data input interface May be shared. That is, in the display of FIG. 13, the display of the right frame may be shared with the data input interface.

  On the other hand, when a tab for creating an analysis model is selected, and a process for moving the position of the analysis model is selected (step S406), input of the movement amount is requested, and according to the input movement amount, The coordinate value of the analysis shape data stored in the analysis data storage unit 16 is changed (step S407).

[Input analysis data using the processing flow interface]
Next, a case where the operator inputs analysis data using the processing flow interface will be described. It is assumed that the operator selects a tab corresponding to the “processing flow interface” by operating the pointing device. Then, the input receiving unit 17 receives a processing flow interface selection instruction (step S201), and the input control unit 19 determines that a processing flow interface has been selected (step S205). Then, the input control unit 19 reads out the processing flow interface from the interface storage unit 14 and displays it on the display unit 18 (step S208). As a result, the information in the left frame (window) in FIG. 14 is displayed. This left frame is divided into the setting of analysis conditions and the creation of an analysis model, and displays buttons corresponding to each processing flow information. When any button is selected by clicking or the like, the processing flow information corresponding to the selected button is executed. The button display may be created using the processing flow information stored in the processing flow information storage unit 13 or may be displayed in advance on the processing flow interface stored in the interface storage unit 14. The included interface may be read out.

  As shown in FIG. 14, when the operator clicks the “define physical property” button, this is accepted by the input accepting unit 17, and the input control unit 19 determines that the “define physical property” flow has been selected. Then, the processing flow information of “definition of physical properties” shown in FIG. 9 is read (step S502). Then, the input control unit 19 reads the process identification information “C1101” from the process of ID = 001 which is the first process of the read process flow information, and refers to the CAE menu information of FIG. The item identification information “MAT” corresponding to the processing identification information “C1101” is specified. Then, the input control unit 19 reads the data structure information corresponding to the identified item identification information “MAT” by referring to the structure correspondence information of FIG. 7, and generates analysis data corresponding to the data structure information. . Further, the name = “iron” included in the process of ID = 001 is input to the generated analysis data, and the input analysis data of each data is accumulated in the analysis data storage unit 16 (step S503). . At the time of the accumulation, the input control unit 19 is analysis data identification information composed of an item “MAT” corresponding to the analysis data to be accumulated and a number following the item, and analysis data identification that has not been used yet. Assume that the analysis data is stored in association with the information. If all data of the item identified by the item identification information “MAT” is set in the process of ID = 001, the input control unit 19 determines that the execution of the process of ID = 001 is completed, It is determined that there is a next process and selection is not necessary (steps S504 to S506), and the process of ID = 002 is executed. Here, in the process of ID = 002 as well as ID = 001, all the data of the item identified by the item identification information “HOURGLASS” is set in the process flow information, and the input control unit 19 It is assumed that analysis data including data is accumulated in the analysis data storage unit 16 (step S503). Then, the input control unit 19 proceeds to the process of ID = 003 (steps S504 to S506).

  For ID = 003, it is assumed that no data is set in the processing flow information. Then, the input control unit 19 determines that the process is not completed, reads the process identification information “C1103” corresponding to the ID = 003, and causes the display unit 18 to display the interface corresponding to the process identification information “C1103”. . As a result, the lower right frame (window) in FIG. 14 is displayed. The method of displaying this interface is the same as the method of displaying the interface corresponding to the item identification information “MAT” described above, and the description thereof is omitted. Since each process included in the process flow information is a process executed in the CAE menu interface, if the data input is required in each process included in the process flow information, the data is input. Can be displayed using a method of displaying an interface in the CAE menu interface corresponding to the processing. Thus, a part of the interface may be shared between the CAE menu interface and the process flow interface.

  In the upper right frame (window) in FIG. 14, icons corresponding to the processes in the processing flow information in FIG. 9 are displayed, and icons corresponding to the currently executing process are highlighted (in FIG. (Displayed with a heavy frame). The display in the upper right frame uses the process identification information held in advance and the image information of the icon corresponding to the process identification information to identify the process whose order is indicated by the selected process flow information. The image information of the icon corresponding to the information may be connected by an arrow in the order indicated by the processing flow information. Alternatively, the display may be stored in advance in association with each button in the processing flow interface, and may be displayed by reading it. Even in this case, it is preferable that the correspondence between the image information of each icon and the processing identification information can be understood. This is because the icon corresponding to the process identification information for identifying the process being processed is highlighted. The method of highlight display is not limited. It may be displayed in a color distinguishable from other icons, may be displayed in a display method distinguishable from other icons (for example, blinking, rotating, etc.), or other methods It may be.

  In the display of FIG. 14, when a name, thermal conductivity, or the like is input, the data is received by the input receiving unit 17 (step S508). Then, the input control unit 19 refers to the preset input enable / disable information in FIG. 11 and determines whether or not the data can be input. If the input is possible, the data is temporarily stored. If the input is impossible, the data is discarded (steps S509 and S510). Finally, the “update” button is clicked, and the temporarily stored data is accumulated in the analysis data storage unit 16 by the input control unit 19, and it is determined that the input of each data with ID = 003 is completed. Then (step S504), the process proceeds to the next process. In this way, each process specified by the process flow information is sequentially executed.

  When the process of ID = 015 in the process flow information of FIG. 9 is completed (step S504), the input control unit 19 determines that selection is necessary (steps S505 and S506), and the text “ A dialog box having “Do you want to edit?” And “Yes” and “No” buttons are displayed. When any button is clicked (step S507), the process corresponding to the clicked button is executed as the next process.

  In this specific example, the case where the analysis data is input using any one of the interfaces has been described, but it goes without saying that the analysis data may be input using two or more interfaces. For example, after inputting analysis data using the processing flow interface, it is also possible to check what kind of analysis data is input using the data input interface.

  Further, after the input of the analysis data is finished, the analysis using the analysis data stored in the analysis data storage unit 16 performed by the analysis unit 20 and the analysis result performed by the post-processing unit 21 are used. The post process is already known in the CAE system, and its description is omitted.

  In this specific example, in the structure correspondence information, the comment information may not be associated with the item identification information or the like. In that case, input of comment information and browsing of comment information cannot be performed.

  As described above, according to the CAE device 10 and the analysis data input device 1 according to the present embodiment, the analysis data used in the solver can be directly input and can be browsed, and the CAE Analysis data can be input using a CAE menu interface that can perform processing on analysis data from a viewpoint and a processing flow interface that can input analysis data according to a preset processing flow. it can. Therefore, a lower layer (physical layer) interface that is a processing flow interface that can directly operate analysis data passed to the solver, and a CAE menu interface that allows the analysis data passed to the solver to be input from a CAE perspective. It is possible to provide a layer interface and an interface of an upper layer (application layer) that can input analysis data passed to the solver along a series of processing flows. As described above, the analysis data input device 1 according to the present embodiment can provide interfaces of all layers of the new hierarchical model of the interface in the CAE device 10.

  Also, solver professional data input interface, CAE professional CAE menu interface, beginner processing flow interface are prepared, and even those with different understanding and proficiency can switch between these interfaces As a result, an effect that data can be input efficiently can be obtained. As a result, a plurality of persons with different levels of understanding and proficiency can collaborate. For example, analysis data input by a CAE professional through a CAE menu interface can be confirmed by a solver professional through a data input interface. As described above, the analysis data input device 1 according to the present embodiment can provide a new interface model for a plurality of persons having different degrees of solution and proficiency to perform joint work. For example, a CAE professional may input analysis shape data using a CAE menu interface, and a beginner may input analysis condition data using a processing flow interface.

  In addition, since a certain operator can switch between a plurality of interfaces, for example, analysis data input by a solver or CAE learner via a processing flow interface is input via a data input interface or a CAE menu interface. By confirming, it is also possible to learn about solvers and CAE. Also, for example, even a solver professional or a CAE professional can perform routine work by using the processing flow interface to improve work efficiency.

  In addition, even when the solver corresponding to the pre-post system is changed, the operator (operator) can perform processing using the same CAE menu interface and processing flow interface, so that the maintenance property of the entire apparatus can be maintained. Can be improved. Thus, the redundancy of system processing by the multiple operation system can be reduced.

It may be part of the data. For example, the analysis data stored in the analysis data storage unit 16 may be only part or all of the analysis condition data, or only part or all of the analysis shape data.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the input of analysis data is controlled using the preset information stored in the preset information storage unit 15 has been described.
