CROSS-SECTION LAYOUT CALCULATION DEVICE, CROSS-SECTION LAYOUT CALCULATION METHOD, AND CROSS-SECTION LAYOUT CALCULATION PROGRAM

摘要

A technique of realistically calculate the cross-section layout of a bundle of wires which corresponds to the initial arrangement of wires. When the geometric information is acquired by a geometric information acquisition means (11a), the arrangement information corresponding to the geometric information is acquired by an arrangement information acquisition means (11b). When the boundary information which is based on the arrangement information is calculated by a boundary information calculation means (11c), the bundling shape information which corresponds to the boundary information and represents the shape of the cross-section layout of the bundle of wires is acquired by a bundling shape information acquisition means (11d). When the boundary information is deformed by a boundary information deformation means (11e) toward the bundling shape information, the behavior of each of the cross-section figures in the boundary information is calculated by an arrangement information changing means (11f) in accordance with the contact between the boundary information and the cross-section figure or the contact between the cross-section figures, and the arrangement information is changed such that a plurality of cross-section figures are all arranged close together. The cross-section layout information which is based on the changed arrangement information is output by a cross-section layout information output means (11g).
