Method of assisting wiring design of wiring structure, its apparatus and its program

An apparatus of assisting a wiring design of a wiring structure in which the wiring structure-constituted by a plurality of pieces of line streak members is regarded as an elastic body which has a circular section and in which a plurality of beam elements a linearity of which is maintained are coupled with each other, and a shape of the wiring structure which satisfies a predetermined condition is predicted by utilizing a finite element method, the apparatus comprising:

• a setting unit for setting information concerning a shape characteristic, a material characteristic and a constraining condition of the wiring structure as the predetermined condition;
• a predicted shape calculating unit for calculating a predicted shape of the displaced wiring structure such that the condition is satisfied by applying the predetermined condition to the finite element method;
• a natural frequency calculating unit for calculating a natural frequency with respect to the predicted shape calculated by the predicted shape calculating unit;
• and
• a first outputting unit for outputting the calculated predicted shape and the calculated natural frequency.
