Abstract: A fluid structure interaction simulation method includes a graph information forming process to form graph information of nodes obtained by discretising a computing region for each of a fluid and a structure that are represented by meshes, and a main time development loop process to simulate a physical phenomenon. The loop process includes arranging IMEs (Interaction Mediating Elements) that move with a displacement of the structure, on a boundary of the structure, defining, within the IME, correcting functions of a pressure and a velocity of the fluid that interact with the pressure and the velocity of the fluid and the displacement of the structure, and executing a simulation based on the correcting functions, in a state in which the meshes of the fluid are mismatched to the meshes of the structure.

Abstract: A method includes: obtaining designated 3D template for a designated part in a heart; generating 3D annulus data representing an annulus of a heart valve identified as a reference of transformation, from a cross-section image in a plane passing through an axis within the annulus of the identified heart valve in 3D volume data generated from tomographic images; identifying a first point on the annulus of the identified heart valve in the designated 3D template and a second point on the annulus represented by the 3D annulus data; arranging n starting points from the first point on the annulus of the identified heart valve in the designated 3D template and n target points from the second point on the annulus represented by the 3D annulus data; and calculating movement destination coordinates of vertices of polygons relating to the designated 3D template to transform the designated 3D template.

Abstract: According to an aspect of the embodiment, a user apparatus transmits a parameter on generation of drawing data to each of drawing data generation apparatuses through a network, to assign generation processing of the drawing data to each of drawing data generation apparatuses. The user apparatus receives the drawing data generated based on the parameter by each of the plurality of drawing data generation apparatuses through the network, and displays the received drawing data. The user apparatus changes the parameter corresponding to the displayed drawing data, and displays a new drawing data corresponding to the changed parameter.

Abstract: A numerical model related to fluttering of an insect, when an equivalent model of actual structure of a wing of the insect is moved in the air in accordance with a model of fluttering motion of the wing of the insect is calculated by fluid-structure interactive analysis, in which behavior of the wing and behavior of the air are given as numerical values, including interaction therebetween. Thereafter, a method of controlling a fluttering robot, wing shape and the like are determined by modifying numerical models of fluttering of an insect prepared by fluid-structure interactive analysis, in accordance with sensitivity analysis.

Abstract: A modeling device is disclosed that easily projects characteristic information obtained from an object onto a differently-shaped object, even if the object, from which the characteristic information is obtained, has a complex shape. A modeling device in one embodiment of the present invention includes a virtually electrifying section to calculate an electric potential at a spot in a heart at the time when a predetermined voltage is applied to the heart, and a projecting section to project a fiber orientation onto a heart model created on the basis of shape information that is input to the input section. The projecting section specifies a spot to be a target of projection on the basis of the electric potential obtained by the virtually electrifying section. Use of the electric potential in specifying the spot makes it possible to easily project the fiber orientation onto any heart having complex and various shapes.
