Abstract: A simulation device for analyzing behavior of a granular material that includes a plurality of particles includes a first parameter acquisition unit that acquires a first parameter including a parameter relating to the granular material, a second parameter calculation unit that calculates a second parameter, when a particle group including the plurality of particles is coarsely viewed as a single coarse-view particle, the second parameter relating to the coarse-view particle, and a coarse-view particle behavior analysis unit that analyzes a behavior of the coarse-view particle based on the first parameter and the second parameter. The second parameter calculation unit calculates the second parameter by solving a characteristic equation that uses a relationship between an elastic energy of the particle group and an elastic energy of the coarse-view particle.

Abstract: In a wire bonding apparatus in which images of workpieces placed on a heating block so as to be bonded are taken by a camera through an optical path housing in which an optical path from the workpiece to the camera is established, heaters are installed on the optical path housing so as to heat the optical path housing at a constant temperature which is higher than the temperature that is affected by the heating block.
