Abstract
An analysis device includes a memory unit, a recording unit, and an arithmetic processing unit. The arithmetic processing unit determines, by referring to a physical value of each of elements stored in the memory unit and a program recorded in the recording unit, whether or not a protector main body and a lid are in contact with each other in reproducing a state where a harness is contained inside the protector main body and an opening of the protector main body is covered by the lid.
Claims5
An analysis device for evaluating whether or not a lid for covering an opening of a protector main body is attachable to the protector main body with a wire harness contained inside through the opening, the analysis device comprising:
- a memory storing a value of an element corresponding to a part of the wire harness, a value of an element corresponding to a part of the protector main body, and a value of an element corresponding to a part of the lid, in a modeled assembly with respect to each of the elements;
- a storage medium storing a program for simulating a shape of the wire harness;
- and
- a processor that determines, by referring to the value of each of the elements stored in the memory and executing the program stored in the storage medium to perform a simulation, whether or not the protector main body and the lid are in contact with each other in a state where the wire harness is contained inside the protector main body and the opening of the protector main body is at least partially covered by the lid,
- wherein the processor determines whether or not the protector main body and the lid are in contact with each other by determining whether a pair of elements respectively disposed on the protector main body and the lid apply stresses having a same magnitude but in opposite directions.
A method for evaluating whether or not a lid for covering an opening of a protector main body is attachable to the protector main body with a wire harness contained inside through the opening, the method comprising:
- storing, in a memory:
- a value of an element corresponding to a part of the wire harness,
- a value of an element corresponding to a part of the protector main body, and
- a value of an element corresponding to a part of the lid, in a modeled assembly with respect to each of the elements;
- storing, in a storage medium, a program for simulating a shape of the wire harness;
- and
- determining, by referring to the value of each of the elements stored in the memory and executing the program stored in the storage medium to perform a simulation, whether or not the protector main body and the lid are in contact with each other in a state where the wire harness is contained inside the protector main body and the opening of the protector main body is at least partially covered by the lid,
- wherein the determining comprises analyzing whether or not the protector main body and the lid are in contact with each other by determining whether a pair of elements respectively disposed on the protector main body and the lid apply stresses having a same magnitude but in opposite directions.
