Abstract: An optimization model analysis apparatus configured with a finite element model generation unit that generates on the basis of a structural configuration of a design model having a 3D shape a finite element model for analyzing acoustic characteristics of the design by a finite element method. The apparatus is configured with a shell model generation unit that generates a model by dividing a surface of the finite element model into a plurality of plate elements having a polygonal shape; an optimization model generation unit that superimposes the shell model on the surface of the finite element model to generate an optimization model; and an optimization model modification unit that displaces nodal points which serve as vertexes of the plate elements in a direction intersecting a plane of the plate elements by displacing at least one of the nodal points in a direction of reducing a thickness of the optimization model.
