Analysis data generating apparatus, analysis data generating method and computer-readable recording medium containing analysis data generating program

An analysis data generating method for generating an analysis data of an object formed by a plurality of elements from three-dimensional design data of the object, comprising:

• an extracting step for extracting a contact face where end faces of two elements contact with each other from the three-dimensional design data;
• a contact condition setting step for setting a contact condition of the contact face extracted at said extracting step;
• a thermal conductivity calculating step for calculating a thermal conductivity of the contact face based on the thermal resistance information which is previously retained in a retaining unit to obtain thermal resistance of the contact face in accordance with the contact condition of the contact face and corresponds to the contact condition of the contact face set in said contact condition setting step;
• and
• a generating step for generating the analysis data including the thermal conductivity calculated in said thermal conductivity calculating step.
