ABSTRACT:
A method of storing substantial data integrating shape and physical properties comprising (A) inputting external data12consisting of boundary data of an object1, (B) dividing, by modified Octree division, the external data into cubical cells13which boundary surfaces are orthogonal to each other, and (C) storing the values of various physical properties for each of the cells. Furthermore, in step (B), each of the divided cells13is classified to non-boundary cells13alocated in the interior of the object or in a region outside of the object, and boundary cells13bincluding boundary surfaces. Thereby, substantial data integrating shape and physical properties can be stored in small storage capacity, thus enabling the integration of CAD and simulation.
