Method of analyzing physical property of golf ball and method of manufacturing golf ball

Abstract

A ⅛ model is obtained at the steps of (A1) assuming a small cube, (A2) dividing the small cube into meshes, thereby obtaining a nodal point, (A3) projecting the nodal point included in each of three surfaces of the small cube which is not coincident with three planes of a ⅛ sphere onto a spherical surface of a small ⅛ sphere, thereby obtaining a new nodal point, (A4) dividing a space between the spherical surface of the small ⅛ sphere and that of the ⅛ sphere through spherical surfaces of a plurality of intermediate ⅛ spheres setting origins to be centers thereof, and (A5) sequentially repeating an operation for projecting a nodal point present on an inner spherical surface onto a spherical surface adjacent to an outside thereof from the small ⅛ sphere to the ⅛ sphere through the intermediate ⅛ spheres. The ⅛ model is expanded to obtain a finite element golf ball model.
