摘要

Provided is a method for setting a model of a finite element model used in a molding simulation capable of performing highly precise and efficient molding simulation of a metal plate. A model setting method for setting a finite element model for simulating the forming of a metal sheet by a molding tool using a finite element method by a processor provided in a computer. In the setting of a molding tool model representing a molding tool, Wherein at least a part of the metal plate contact surface which is in contact with the metal plate is set as a surface layer having a characteristic of an elastic body or a carbonaceous material and a portion of the molding tool model which supports the surface layer is defined as a body having rigid body characteristics Setting.
