Network simulation device, network simulation method, and network simulation program

A network simulation method of a network simulation device, comprising:

• causing a storage unit of the network simulation device to store network model information which stores three-dimensional coordinate values of each of elements constituting a network;
• and
• causing a control unit of the network simulation device
• to accept an input of first plane information being positional information on the network projected onto a coordinate plane having any two dimensions out of three dimensions as coordinate axes,
• to create the network model information which defines a coordinate value of the remaining one dimension as unknown based on the accepted first plane information,
• to accept selection of an element having the coordinate value defined as unknown by a user from the elements which appear in the first plane information,
• to accept an input of second plane information being positional information on the network projected onto a coordinate plane having any two dimensions including the remaining one dimension as coordinate axes, and
• to determine a numerical value of the coordinate value defined as unknown of the selected element in the created network model information based on the accepted second
• plane information,
• to output updated network model information of the elements, wherein the elements are one of actual pipes or actual wires that make up the network;
• and
• to create a network model of actual pipes or actual wires using the outputs of the updated network model information of the elements without the need for three-dimensional processing.
