Abstract: A method for estimating a flange displacement amount includes determining effective three-dimensional coordinate data at a lower first position of a first supported portion on a surface continuous with a lower flange surface and at an upper first position coincident with the lower first position in a horizontal direction on a surface continuous with an upper flange surface.
