Support system, and computer-readable recording medium in which support program is recorded

A computer-readable recording medium in which a support program to realize, on a computer, a function of assisting a development of embedded software to be embedded in a mechanism, composed of a plurality of parts including an actuator and a sensor, as a control program to control the mechanism is recorded, said support program comprises:

• a mechanism designing program for instructing the computer to function as a mechanism designing section which designs the mechanism three-dimensionally;
• a three-dimensional-mechanism model simulating program for instructing the computer to function as a three-dimensional-mechanism model simulating section, in which the mechanism is structured as a three-dimensional-mechanism model, for simulating an operation of the mechanism;
• an embedded software developing program for instructing the computer to function as an embedded software developing section which develops the embedded software;
• a first interface program for instructing the computer to function as a first interface section for inputting designing data, which is created in said mechanism designing section as the result of the designing by said mechanism designing section, from the mechanism designing section to the three-dimensional-mechanism model simulating section to be reflected on the three-dimensional-mechanism model;
• and
• a second interface program for instructing the computer to function as a second interface section which transfers data between the three-dimensional-mechanism model simulating section and the embedded software developing section while synchronizing the three-dimensional-mechanism model simulating section and the embedded software developing section in operation with each other.
