Simulation device

A simulation device comprising a control unit configured to perform:

• designating a measurement point in a measurement object model representing an object three-dimensionally in a virtual space representing a work space three-dimensionally;
• receiving an input operation for arranging a visual sensor model representing a visual sensor for imaging the measurement object three-dimensionally at an arbitrary visual sensor model position;
• receiving an input operation for determining the visual sensor model position included in an image size of the visual sensor model as an arrangement position of the visual sensor model;
• converting a three-dimensional position of the measurement point in the visual sensor model position into a two-dimensional position when the measurement point is imaged by the visual sensor model;
• and
• determining the visual sensor model position where all of two-dimensional positions are included in an image size of the visual sensor model as an arrangement position of the visual sensor model.

A simulation device comprising:

• a virtual space creation unit that creates a virtual space representing a work space three-dimensionally;
• a measurement object model arrangement unit that arranges a measurement object model representing a measurement object three-dimensionally in the virtual space;
• a measurement point designation unit that designates a measurement point in the measurement object model;
• a visual sensor model arrangement unit that arranges a visual sensor model representing three-dimensionally a visual sensor that images the measurement object, at an arbitrary visual sensor model position;
• a position determination unit that determines the visual sensor model position included in an image size of the visual sensor model as an arrangement position of the visual sensor model based on a position of the measurement point;
• and
• an imaging area designation unit that designates an imaging area in which the measurement point is imaged by the visual sensor model within the image size of the visual sensor model.
