Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a development support apparatus for performing structural calculations and the like for civil engineering and architectural design and a recording medium used for the development support apparatus.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In civil engineering and architectural design, it is necessary to confirm that the load acting on each part of a framed structure falls within a predetermined allowable range. This is generally done.
The specific contents of the processing are as follows.

First, when data such as a cross section of a beam used for a frame structure is input to a computer, a preparation calculation program for calculating a fixed end moment, a central bending moment, a stress, a deflection, and the like of the beam is first executed. .

[0004] Next, a structural analysis program is executed by using the data and the like obtained by executing the preparation calculation program as input values, whereby the loads acting on each part of the framed structure are calculated. Thereafter, a cross-section calculation program is executed using the calculation results and the like as input values, and thereby it is determined whether or not the load acting on each part of the frame structure falls within a predetermined allowable range.

[0005] As described above, only by inputting the input data such as the cross section of the beam used for the frame structure to the computer, the preparation calculation program, the structural analysis program, and the cross section calculation program are sequentially executed. It is possible to confirm whether the load acting on each part of the frame structure falls within a predetermined allowable range.

The development support device is a computer having a function of sequentially processing a preparation calculation program, a structure analysis program, a cross section calculation program, and the like, and outputting a final result obtained thereby to the outside.

However, when the final result that the load acting on each part of the frame structure does not fall within the predetermined allowable range is obtained contrary to the initial expectation, it is necessary to change the design such as enlarging the cross section of the beam. Becomes In this case, it is possible to input the data after the design change and sequentially execute the preparation calculation program, the structural analysis program, and the section calculation program again, and repeat this work many times until a desired final result is obtained. Required.

Since the preparation calculation program, the structural analysis program, and the section calculation program are independent of each other, it is possible to execute each program individually. For example, when a part of the calculation result data of the structural analysis program is changed and only the cross section calculation program is executed, the cross section calculation can be performed by trial. In addition, when the results are compared with empirical knowledge, a certain degree of prediction can be made as to whether or not a desired final result can be obtained, which is advantageous in improving the efficiency of calculation.

However, in order to execute the cross-section calculation program, it is necessary to input most of the calculation results of the structural analysis program, including partially changed data, to the computer. Then, an accurate calculation result can no longer be obtained. This is the same for other programs.

In consideration of such circumstances and the like, the development support apparatus is not designed to individually execute a preparation calculation program, a structural analysis program, a cross section calculation program, and the like, and each program is sequentially executed to the last. It has become.

[0011]

However, in the case of the above-mentioned conventional example, since it takes a long time to perform one calculation, it is difficult to obtain a desired final conclusion unless the assumption of the beam cross section is appropriate. A considerable amount of time is required, which is a major factor that hinders the efficiency and cost reduction of structural calculations. This is not a problem specific to civil engineering and architectural design,
The same can be said for the field of mechanical design and the like.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above background, and an object of the present invention is to provide a development support apparatus capable of substantially improving the efficiency of structural calculation and the like and reducing costs. It is in.

[0013]

A development support apparatus according to the present invention mainly includes a plurality of input values necessary for processing a second program before executing a second program for performing a calculation. An apparatus for executing a first program for obtaining, sequentially executing the first and second programs, and outputting a final result to an external device, wherein a plurality of input values obtained by executing the first program are provided. Is recorded in the intermediate calculation result file, and all or some of the plurality of input values are externally output, and if there is a setting input for changing the input value from the outside, the plurality of input values are recorded in the intermediate calculation result file. Is rewritten according to the setting input, and the second program is executed based on a plurality of input values of the rewritten intermediate calculation result file.

In such a configuration, when the first program is executed, a plurality of input values obtained by this are recorded in the intermediate calculation result file and output to the outside. The external output target is all or a part of a plurality of input values required for the processing of the second program.

If the user determines that there is a problem with the externally output input value, a setting input is made from outside to change the problematic input value. Then, the plurality of input values recorded in the intermediate calculation result file are rewritten according to the setting input, and the second program is executed based on the input values, thereby obtaining the final result.

In short, after the execution of the first program is completed, the user is given an opportunity to change a plurality of input values obtained by the execution. Further, there is no room for an input error by the user for an input value that does not need to be changed.
The second program is executed based on the plurality of input values changed by the user in this manner, and a final result is obtained.

The recording medium used in the development support apparatus according to the present invention is basically exactly the same as described above.

More preferably, after all or a part of the plurality of input values obtained by executing the first program are externally displayed, the input values necessary for processing the first program from outside are changed. It is desirable to execute the first program again on the basis of the input value if there is a setting input for this.

According to such a configuration, after the execution of the first program is completed, the user is given an opportunity to change a plurality of input values obtained by the execution, and the first program is executed based on the changed input values. The program is executed again, and a plurality of input values obtained thereby are recorded in the intermediate calculation result file and output to the outside. That is, it is possible to execute only the first program any number of times separately from the second program.

More preferably, after all or a part of the final result obtained by executing the second program is externally displayed, the input value required for externally processing the second program is changed. If there is a setting input, the plurality of input values recorded in the intermediate calculation result file are rewritten according to the setting input, and the second program is executed again based on the plurality of input values of the rewritten intermediate calculation result file. It is desirable to do so.

According to such a configuration, after the execution of the second program is completed, the user is given an opportunity to change an input value necessary for processing the second program, and based on the changed input value. The second program is executed again, and all or a part of the final result obtained is externally displayed. That is, separate from the first program,
Only the second program can be executed any number of times.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a development support device, FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a structure of a memory file of the device,
FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a basic program used in the apparatus.

The development support device shown in the example is a personal computer which mainly performs calculations such as structural analysis in the field of civil engineering and architectural design, and includes a keyboard, a mouse and the like for inputting data as shown in FIG. An input unit 10,
A memory 20 (corresponding to a recording medium) for recording programs and data, a CPU 30 (central processing unit) for processing the programs recorded in the memory 20, and an output unit such as a display device or a printer for externally outputting calculation results and the like 40
And so on.

That is, when data such as the cross section of a beam used for a frame structure is input through the input unit 10, the memory 2
0 is executed by the CPU 30 to calculate whether the load acting on each part of the frame structure falls within a predetermined allowable range, and outputs the calculation result to the output unit 40.
Output to the outside.

The lower-level programs processed by the CPU 30 are roughly divided into a preparation calculation program for calculating the fixed end moment, the center bending moment, the stress, the deflection, etc. of the beam, and the load acting on each part of the frame structure. There are a total of three types of a structural analysis program and a cross-section calculation program for determining whether or not the load acting on each part of the frame structure falls within a predetermined allowable range.

In order to process the preparation calculation program, data such as a cross section of a beam used for a framed structure is required as input values. In order to process the structural analysis program, in addition to the concrete data of the frame structure, the adaptation criteria according to the type of the frame structure, the safety value data of the entire frame structure, etc., the calculation results of the preparation calculation program are input It is necessary as a value (when focusing on the structural analysis program, the preparation calculation program corresponds to the first program, and the structural analysis program corresponds to the second program). In order to process the section calculation program, the calculation results of the structural analysis program are required as input values in addition to the data of the frame structure material, tolerance data, safety value data related to bending, compression, and shearing (section calculation) Focusing on the program, the structural analysis program corresponds to the first program, and the cross-section calculation program corresponds to the second program).

That is, in the basic flow, the preparation calculation program, the structural analysis program, and the cross-section calculation program are executed in this order, whereby a final calculation result is obtained.

The structure of the memory file recorded in the memory 20 is as shown in FIG. That is, a file 21 for a basic program in which a basic program is recorded, a file 22 for a sectional calculation program in which a sectional calculation program is recorded, a file 23 for a structural analysis program in which a structural analysis program is recorded, and a file Section calculation program file 24, and an intermediate calculation result file 25 for temporarily recording each calculation result of the section calculation program, the structural analysis program, the section calculation program, and the like.
And so on.

The most characteristic feature of the development support apparatus of the present invention lies in the contents of the basic program recorded in the basic program file 21. Hereinafter, the contents of the basic program will be described with reference to FIG. 3, and also the operation of the development support device will be described.

First, when data such as a cross section of a beam used for a framed structure is set and input through the input unit 10, the data is recorded in the intermediate calculation result file 25 of the memory 20 and displayed on the output unit 40 (S1). ).

Then, the preparation calculation program file 2
2, the CPU 30 executes the preparatory calculation program based on the input values of the data such as the cross section of the beam used for the frame structure recorded in the intermediate calculation result file 25 (S2).

When the execution of the preparation calculation program is completed,
The calculation result is recorded in the intermediate calculation result file 25, and all or part of the calculation result is output to the output unit 40 (S3), and the process waits for an input as to whether or not this is OK (S4).

When the user determines that there is a problem with the calculation result of the preparation calculation program output to the outside in this way based on his own experience in civil engineering and construction, and inputs a setting of NG through the input unit 10, The data such as the cross section of the beam recorded in the intermediate calculation result file 25 is read out and output to the output unit 40 to wait for input of data to be changed (S5).

For example, data such as a beam cross section is input to the input unit 10.
When the setting is input through the
Is rewritten according to the setting input (S6), and the flow returns to step 2 to perform the same processing as described above.

Even if the preparatory calculation program is executed again based on the input data thus changed, if the desired calculation result cannot be obtained, the input data is changed again,
Run the preparation calculation program again.

When the calculation result of the preparation calculation program is OK from the beginning or when it is OK, it is set and input through the input unit 10 to indicate that it is OK, and an adaptation standard and a frame structure corresponding to the type of the frame structure are set. When the entire safety value data and the like are set and input in the same manner, the structure analysis program is read out from the structure analysis program file 23 and the CP is read.
This is executed by U30.

That is, the structural analysis program is executed based on the adaptation criteria corresponding to the type of the frame structure, the safety value data of the entire frame structure, and the calculation results of the preparatory calculation program recorded in the intermediate calculation result file 25. Let it. The adaptation criteria according to the type of the framed structure input and the safety value data of the entire framed structure are calculated in the intermediate calculation result file 2
5 (S7).

When the execution of the structural analysis program is completed,
The calculation result is recorded in the intermediate calculation result file 25, and all or part of the calculation result is output to the output unit 40 (S8), and the process waits for an input indicating whether or not this is OK (S9).

Just as in the case of the preparation calculation program,
When the user determines that there is a problem with the calculation result of the structural analysis program output to the outside in this way, and sets and inputs that it is NG through the input unit 10, the type of the skeleton structure recorded in the intermediate calculation result file 25 Then, the adaptive reference, the safety value data of the entire skeleton structure, etc. are read and output to the output unit 40 to wait for input of data to be changed (S10).

For example, when safety value data of the entire frame structure is set and input through the input unit 10, the data recorded in the memory 25 is rewritten according to the setting input (S
11) Return to step 7 again and perform the same processing as above.

Even if the structural analysis program is executed again based on the input data changed in this way, if the desired calculation result is not obtained, the input data is changed again,
Run the structural analysis program again.

When the calculation result of the structural analysis program is OK from the beginning or when it is OK, it is set and input through the input unit 10 to indicate that it is OK, and the material of the framed structure, data of tolerance, bending, compression When the data of the safety value relating to shearing and the like are set and input in the same manner, the section calculation program is read from the section calculation program file 24 and the CPU 30 executes the section calculation program.

That is, the section calculation program is executed based on the calculation results of the structural analysis program recorded in the interim calculation result file 25, such as the data on the material and acceptability of the framed structure, the data on the safety values regarding bending, compression and shearing. Let it run. The adaptation criteria corresponding to the type of the frame structure that has been set and input, data of the safety value of the entire frame structure, and the like are recorded in the intermediate calculation result file 25 (S12).

When the execution of the section calculation program is completed, the calculation result is recorded in the intermediate calculation result file 25, and all or a part of the result is externally output to the output unit 40 (S13). It waits for an input (S14).

Just as in the case of the structural analysis program,
When the user determines that there is a problem with the calculation result of the section calculation program output to the outside in this way, and inputs and sets that it is NG through the input unit 10, the material of the skeleton structure recorded in the intermediate calculation result file 25 Then, the data of the tolerance, the data of the safety value relating to bending, compression, and shearing, etc. are read out and output to the output unit 40, and the input of data to be changed is waited for (S15).

For example, when the data of the material and the permissiveness of the frame structure is set and input through the input unit 10, the data recorded in the intermediate calculation result file 25 is rewritten according to the setting input (S17), and the step is repeated. Returning to step 12, the same processing as above is performed.

Even if the section calculation program is executed again based on the input data thus changed, if the desired calculation result cannot be obtained, the input data is changed again,
Execute the section calculation program again.

When the calculation result of the section calculation program is OK or OK from the beginning, it means that the load acting on each part of the frame structure is within a predetermined allowable range. After outputting the basic calculation result to the output unit 40, the program ends.

The basic program shown in FIG. 3 is basically executed in the order of a preparation calculation program, a structural analysis program, and a cross section calculation program. , In other words, a preparation calculation program, a structural analysis program, and a cross section calculation program can be individually executed. This is possible because all the input values required to execute each program are recorded in the intermediate calculation result file 25. That is, each program can be individually executed based on the data recorded in the intermediate calculation result file 25.

The data necessary for the processing of each program may be input through the input unit 10 or the like before the preparation calculation program is executed, or a form including a program other than the preparation calculation program may be included. I don't care.

In the case of such a development support apparatus, when each processing such as the preparation calculation program, the structural analysis program, the cross section calculation program, etc. is completed, each calculation result is displayed and output each time, while the display output calculation is performed. If the user appropriately changes the input data with reference to the result, each program can be executed separately from other programs based on the changed input data. Therefore, a desired final conclusion can be obtained in a short time, and the efficiency of civil engineering and architectural design can be significantly improved, and the cost can be reduced accordingly. High performance can be achieved.

It should be noted that the development support device and the like of the present invention
The present invention can be applied not only to fields such as architectural design and mechanical design but also to various fields. Further, the present invention is not limited to a program for performing calculations, and is applicable to a program for performing processing that does not substantially correspond to calculations.

For example, the present invention can be applied to a work confirmation application book creation system. This is a system for automatically creating a design document required for a work confirmation application relating to the installation of an advertising tower and an advertising board. There are programs for creating guide maps and layout drawings for installation locations, programs for creating design drawings for workpieces, and programs for creating structural calculation documents for workpieces. Other programs are used as preparations before executing each program. As a result, it is necessary to obtain the calculation result, so that the development support device and the like of the present invention can be applied.

[0054]

As described above, in the case of the development support apparatus of the present invention and the recording medium used therein, after the execution of the first program is completed, a part of the plurality of input values obtained by executing the first program is changed. While the user is given an opportunity to do so, there is no room for an input error by the user for input values that do not need to be changed, and the second program is executed based on the input values partially changed by the user in this way, Since the configuration is such that a final result is obtained, unlike the case of the conventional example, it is possible to achieve substantial efficiency and low cost of this type of operation and processing.

In short, it is easy for the user to change the input data, and each program can be individually executed based on the changed input data. As a result, a final conclusion is obtained. , The time required for the operation and processing can be reduced.
