The object of design is the building that is the object of design. The user is, for example, a designer who designs a design target, or a designer who designs a shape of a design target. For the sake of simplicity, the design support device 1 will be described below using a roof as an example to be designed. In particular, the design support device 1 will be described by taking as an example a case where the object of design is a roof with an arch structure, a truss structure, or a truss structure.

Specifically, the design support apparatus 1 receives input of shape information, which is information about the shape of the object to be designed, and displays the three-dimensional shape of the object to be designed represented by the inputted shape information. Specifically, the design support apparatus 1 includes a display unit 101 that displays information, and the display unit 101 displays the three-dimensional shape of the design object represented by the input shape information. The three-dimensional shape to be designed may be, for example, the appearance of the object to be designed, or may be, for example, the three-dimensional shape of the framework to be designed.

The shape information indicates values for a plurality of quantities related to the shape of the object to be designed. A quantity related to the shape (hereinafter referred to as a “shape quantity”) indicates, for example, the position of the design surface/outer edge. The shape quantity indicates, for example, the pedestal position. The shape quantity indicates, for example, the maximum height of the top chord. Also, the shape quantity indicates, for example, the effective indoor height, and the lower chord member can be set to be equal to or higher than the effective indoor height. In addition, these maximum heights and indoor effective heights are restrictive conditions for setting the depth and rise in constructing arches, trusses, and string beams. The shape quantity indicates, for example, the number of upper chord members and the number of lower chord members.

A shape quantity indicates, for example, the position of either one or both of the top chord or the bottom chord. The position of the top or bottom chord is indicated by either or both depth or rise, for example. Depth refers to the maximum distance between the top and bottom chords. Rise means the distance between the pedestal position and the top chord. The shape quantity indicates, for example, the presence or absence and the number of bundle members or diagonal members connecting the upper chord member and the lower chord member.

The shape quantity indicates, for example, the aspect ratio of the tension ring, which is the central opening. The tension ring is, for example, the tension ring 103 described later in FIG. The shape quantity indicates, for example, the curvature of the corners of the tension ring. The shape quantity indicates, for example, the number of upper chord members and lower chord members. The shape quantity indicates, for example, the number of bundles. A shape quantity indicates, for example, a tension ring from a circular shape to a polygonal shape.

The shape quantity indicates, for example, the position of the diagonal members. There are a plurality of types of arrangement of diagonal members, for example, V-shaped, /-shaped, and cross arrangement. As such, the shape quantity may indicate, for example, the type of diagonal arrangement. The shape quantity indicates, for example, the position of a member that connects end points of bundles of adjacent chord members. A shape quantity indicates, for example, the position of a horizontal brace.

The shape information may also indicate how the roof is divided. To simplify the explanation, the design support device 1 will be explained by taking as an example a case where the shape information indicates a plurality of shape quantities and a method of dividing the roof.

The design support apparatus 1 displays the design result on the display unit 101 using information indicating the correspondence relationship between the shape information and the design result (hereinafter referred to as "correspondence relationship information"). The design result is, for example, an image of a three-dimensional shape to be designed represented by the shape information (hereinafter referred to as a “corresponding three-dimensional image”). An image having a three-dimensional shape is hereinafter referred to as a three-dimensional image. The design result is, for example, the result (hereinafter referred to as "design analysis result") of structural analysis and member cross section calculation analysis (hereinafter referred to as "design analysis") for the design object represented by the shape information. The result of the design may be, for example, the degree of influence of a change in shape quantity on a change in shape represented by shape information (hereinafter referred to as "shape contribution").

The shape contribution is expressed by the amount of change in the sum of strain energies including axial strain energy, shear strain energy, and bending strain energy, for example. The shape contribution may be expressed by the magnitude of the vertical deformation Z, for example. The shape contribution may be expressed by the magnitude of the horizontal deformation X, for example. The shape contribution may be expressed by the magnitude of the horizontal deformation Y, for example. The shape contribution may be expressed, for example, by the magnitude of the reaction force of the column base. Correspondence information whose design result is a corresponding stereoscopic image is hereinafter referred to as stereoscopic correspondence information. Correspondence information whose design result is a design analysis result is hereinafter referred to as analysis correspondence information. Correspondence information in which the result of design is the shape contribution is hereinafter referred to as contribution degree correspondence information.

When the design result is the shape contribution, the shape information and the shape contribution are combined under the condition that the shape information used for obtaining the correspondence information satisfies a predetermined condition regarding shape (hereinafter referred to as "design condition"). Anything can be used as long as it is obtained in advance using and. For example, the correspondence relationship between the shape information satisfying the design condition and the shape contribution may be obtained by a machine learning method.

The correspondence information may be, for example, information obtained by analysis using a mathematical model such as the finite element method for the correspondence between the shape information that satisfies the design conditions and the result of the shape contribution. The design condition is, for example, a condition set in advance by the user regarding the shape to be designed, such as the condition that the shape projected onto the horizontal plane is an ellipse.

The degree of shape contribution is obtained, for example, by performing analysis such as structural analysis on a plurality of pieces of shape information prepared in advance as shape information that satisfies design conditions. In such a case, a set of a plurality of sets of shape information used for analysis and analysis results is an example of correspondence information.

The corresponding stereoscopic image is generated, for example, by a computer program that generates a stereoscopic image by computation based on the shape information. The corresponding stereoscopic image used to acquire the stereoscopic correspondence information may be generated in advance before the stereoscopic correspondence information is acquired, or may be generated when the stereoscopic correspondence information is acquired. The corresponding stereoscopic image may be manually generated in advance using image software, for example.

The correspondence information may be stored in the design support device 1 itself, or may be stored in another device capable of communicating with the design support device 1, such as a server on a network. If the correspondence information is stored in another device, the design support device 1 acquires the correspondence information from the other device that stores the correspondence information through communication. When the correspondence information is stored in the design support apparatus 1 itself, the design support apparatus 1 acquires the correspondence information by reading the correspondence information from the storage unit. For simplicity of explanation, the design support device 1 will be described below by taking as an example the case where the design support device 1 itself stores the correspondence information.

The shape information input to the design support device 1 is displayed in the area A1. For example, a user inputs shape information to the design support apparatus 1 . In FIG. 1, as an example of the shape information input by the user, the input result of frame shape data is displayed. The frame shape data is an example of shape information. The shape information that can be input by the user may be only a part or all of the shape information used when acquiring the correspondence information, or a part or all of the shape information used when acquiring the correspondence information.

Therefore, in the area A1, shape quantities other than Shape, Type, Radius, and Divide may be displayed, or information other than shape quantities may be displayed.

An image G1 is displayed in the area A2. The image G1 shows the design analysis result of the shape information that satisfies the shape quantity constraint condition among the shape information used when generating the analysis correspondence relationship information. The shape quantity constraint conditions are such that, among the plurality of shape quantities related to the design object, for the shape quantity indicated by the shape information input to the design support device 1, the value of each shape quantity indicated by the shape information input to the design support device 1 is set. value.

"reactz" on the horizontal axis of the image G1 indicates the maximum reaction force in the Z-axis direction in the frame. "weight" on the horizontal axis of the image G1 indicates the frame weight. "W" on the horizontal axis of image G1 indicates the total strain energy of the frame. The total strain energy is the sum of the strain energy of the axial force, the strain energy of bending, and the strain energy of shear force. The vertical axis of the image G1 indicates the normalized value of each quantity on the horizontal axis. The horizontal axis of the image G1 may indicate at least the amount obtained by the structural analysis, and may indicate other design analysis results obtained by the structural analysis.

Note that the image G1 is an example of experimental results showing structural analysis results for each of about 10,000 pieces of frame shape data. A graph L101 indicates the value of each quantity obtained by structural analysis for one of the one or more design objects that satisfy the shape quantity constraint. The number of pieces of frame shape data is about 100000, which is an example, and the number of pieces of frame shape data may be, for example, about 4000 depending on the building. Also, the graph L101 may be highlighted on the image G1 in which the graphs corresponding to the respective experimental results are displayed.

In the area A2, shape contributions may be indicated for one or a plurality of pieces of shape information that further satisfy the shape quantity constraint. An example of the shape contribution displayed in the area A2 is the image shown in FIG. 2 or 3, for example. However, when the display unit 101 displays the shape contribution, if the shape contribution is displayed on the screen displayed by the display unit 101, it does not necessarily have to be displayed in the area A2.
In addition, correlations corresponding to one or a plurality of pieces of shape information satisfying the shape amount constraint may be indicated in the region A2. An example of correlation displayed in area A2 is, for example, the image shown in FIG. However, when the display unit 101 displays the correlation, if the correlation is displayed on the screen displayed by the display unit 101, it does not necessarily have to be displayed in the area A2.

Furthermore, for example, when an image showing the words "Division: Equal division / inner ring shape: specified dimensions" is displayed in the area A3-1, the method of dividing the outer diameter is not dependent on the position of the column base. This is a division method in which the column base is placed at the dividing point that occurs when the outer diameter shape that is generated when connecting the adjacent column bases at the column position of the structure is equally divided.

Hereinafter, a process of causing the display unit 101 to display the three-dimensional shape of the building represented by the shape information input to the input unit 102 is referred to as a three-dimensional display process. The image of area A4-2 is an example of an image displayed on display unit 101 as a result of stereoscopic display processing.

The display control unit 111 may, for example, control the operation of the display unit 101 to display the shape contribution degree for at least part of the shape amount of the building that satisfies the shape information input to the input unit 102 . More specifically, the display control unit 111 may cause the display unit 101 to display the degree of shape contribution using the prior shape information, the contribution degree correspondence information, and the degree of shape contribution in addition to the basic operation information. . Hereinafter, the process of displaying on the display unit 101 the shape contribution of at least part of the shape quantity of the building represented by the shape information input to the input unit 102 is referred to as shape contribution display processing.

The shape amount whose shape contribution is displayed may be a predetermined shape amount or a shape amount instructed via the input unit 102 . Both the shape contribution image shown in FIG. 2 and the shape contribution image shown in FIG. 3 are examples of images displayed on the display unit 101 as a result of the shape contribution degree display processing.

An image G1 is an example of an image displayed on the display unit 101 as a result of the design analysis result display process.

The display control unit 111 may execute display point display processing, for example. The display point display process is a process of controlling the operation of the display unit 101 to display information indicating the position of the display point on the image displayed on the display unit 101 by executing the stereoscopic display process. The position of the display point may be indicated, for example, by highlighting the display point on the image displayed on the display unit 101 by executing the stereoscopic display process.

The display control unit 111 switches the screen being displayed on the display unit 101 when information instructing switching of the screen (hereinafter referred to as “switching instruction”) is input to the input unit 102 . The screen to be switched to is the screen indicated by the information input to the input unit 102 when the information input to the input unit 102 indicates the screen to be switched to. The screen to be switched to may be switched to a screen associated in advance with the screen being displayed. Hereinafter, processing for switching the display of the display unit 101 by controlling the operation of the display unit 101 is referred to as switching processing. Since the switching process is a process of displaying a screen after switching, the switching process includes, for example, a shape information display process and an image display process such as a stereoscopic display process.

By executing the switching process, for example, switching from the screen H101 to the screen displaying the shape contribution, switching from the screen displaying the shape contribution to the screen H102, or switching from the screen H102 to the screen H101 is performed. The screen H101 may be switched to the screen H102 by executing the switching process. For the sake of simplicity, the design support apparatus 1 will be described below by taking as an example a case in which the screen being displayed is switched to a screen that is associated in advance with the screen being displayed.

The recording unit 112 records various information in the storage unit 12 .

FIG. 8 is a flow chart showing an example of the flow of processing executed by the design support device 1 of the embodiment.

Shape information is input to the input unit 102 (step S101). That is, the input information acquisition unit 110 acquires shape information via the input unit 102 . Next, the display control unit 111 executes shape information display processing and stereoscopic display processing (step S102). By the processing in step S102, both the shape information input to the input unit 102 and the stereoscopic image of the building represented by the shape information are displayed on the display unit 101. FIG. Next, the display control unit 111 executes a chord distance display process (step S103). Next, the display control unit 111 executes display point display processing (step S104). Next, a switching instruction is input to the input unit 102 (step S105). That is, the input unit 102 acquires the switching instruction. Next, the display control unit 111 executes design analysis result display processing (step S106). A shape contribution degree display process may be executed in the design analysis result display process in step S106.

Note that the processes of steps S102 to S104 do not necessarily have to be executed in the order shown in FIG. 8, and may be executed at any timing as long as they are executed after the process of step S101. The processes of steps S102 to S104 may be executed simultaneously. Further, none of the processes of steps S103 to S106 need necessarily be executed. Further, the process of step S106 does not necessarily have to be executed in the order shown in FIG. 8, and may be executed at any timing as long as it is executed after the process of step S101 is executed. That is, the design analysis result and the shape contribution do not necessarily have to be displayed on a screen different from the stereoscopic image, and may be displayed on the screen on which the stereoscopic image is displayed.

The design support device 1 of the embodiment configured as described above displays input shape information and a stereoscopic image of a building indicated by the shape information. In the case of two-dimensional images, the entire image of the building cannot be grasped without using a plurality of two-dimensional images. On the other hand, with a stereoscopic image, the overall image can be grasped more easily than with a two-dimensional image. In particular, when designers work together to design, it is important for the designer to grasp the overall picture. Designers are not necessarily architects, and therefore, they are often not accustomed to imagining the results of building design using two-dimensional images. Therefore, the design support apparatus 1 can reduce the user's burden for confirming the design result when designing the building, compared to an apparatus that does not display the stereoscopic image of the building indicated by the shape information. In addition, since the design support device 1 makes it easy for the user to grasp the overall image of the building indicated by the input shape information, it is possible to reduce the user's burden of correcting the design of the building.

The design support device 1 also displays the input shape information together with the stereoscopic image. Therefore, the user can compare the correspondence between the shape information and the stereoscopic image without memorizing the input shape information. Therefore, the design support apparatus 1 can reduce the frequency of situations in which the user has to think about how to proceed with the design while memorizing the shape information, and reduce the user's burden of confirming the design results when designing the building. can be mitigated. In addition, the design support apparatus 1 facilitates the user's grasp of the input shape information and the overall image of the building indicated by the shape information, thereby reducing the user's burden of correcting the design of the building. can also

In addition, the design support device 1 displays information indicating the rise or depth when executing the chord distance display process. The information indicating the rise enables the user to confirm interference with the maximum height. Therefore, the design support device 1 that displays the rise can reduce the user's burden required to confirm the design result when designing the building. . The information indicating the depth enables the user to confirm whether or not the relationship between the rise and the depth interferes with the indoor effective height. It is possible to reduce the burden on the user required for

Further, when executing the display point display process, the design support device 1 can display the nodes of the truss as the positions of the display points. As for the truss nodes, by calculating the truss nodes and connecting the calculated truss nodes, it is possible to display a corresponding stereoscopic image that can be easily confirmed by the user. Therefore, the design support device 1 can reduce the user's burden of confirming the design results when designing a building.

Moreover, the design support apparatus 1 can display the design analysis result when executing the design analysis result display process. By displaying the design analysis results, the designer can select a more appropriate design modification method based on the design analysis results. Therefore, the design support device 1 can reduce the user's burden required to check the design results when designing a building.

In particular, when the shape contribution is displayed, it becomes easier for the user to grasp how the building changes with respect to the change in shape. Therefore, the designer can select a more appropriate modification of the design based on the shape contribution. Therefore, the design support device 1 can reduce the user's burden required to check the design results when designing a building.
