  • Patent number: 8744810
    Abstract: A bonding surface extraction unit extracts, with reference to bonding information, data of a first bonding surface corresponding to a bottom surface of a bonding model from data of a first partial model and data of a second bonding surface corresponding to a top surface of the bonding model from data of a second partial model. The first partial model is a model of a pad included in a circuit board. The second partial model is a model of an electrode included in a component. The electrode is to be bonded to the pad with a bonding material. A bonding model generation unit generates a side surface establishing a link between outlines of the first bonding surface and the second bonding surface, and obtains data of the bonding model on the basis of a shape formed with the side surface, the first bonding surface, and the second bonding surface.

  • Patent number: 7996196
    Abstract: A first generation portion divides an object to be analyzed into a plurality of finite elements to generate element division data. A first calculation portion defines and calculates a plurality of meshes dividing the object to be analyzed into units larger than the finite elements. A second generation portion assumes that a friction layer which has a thickness of “0” and a friction coefficient between a conductive material and a composite material of a predetermined value less than 1 exists at the interface between the conductive material and the composite material, and the second generation portion generates mesh data. A second calculation portion uses various solvers to calculate the physical amounts produced in the object to be analyzed on the basis of the mesh data and outputs the analysis result. In other words, the second calculation portion performs a simulation of the behavior of the object to be analyzed.
