Leakage path simulation system and leakage path simulation method
View Patent ↗A computer reads data from a database in an external recording device to generate an analysis model which represents the surface profile of a member with a mesh. Next, the computer initializes the meshes of the analysis model by setting thereto a gas attribute corresponding to a non-leakage site and thereafter sets to any mesh a liquid attribute corresponding to a leakage site, and changes the attribute of meshes adjacent to the meshes having the liquid attribute from the gas attribute to the liquid attribute. Then, the computer connects meshes of which attribute has been set to the liquid attribute to generate a leakage path and outputs information relating to the leakage path on a display device.
1. A leakage path simulation system for predicting a leakage path of a structure formed by joining a plurality of members, comprising:
a model generation unit configured to generate an analysis model whereby the surface profile of each member constituting said structure is represented by a mesh;
an attribute setting unit configured to initialize all the meshes in said analysis model by setting thereto a gas attribute corresponding to a non-leakage portion, thereafter set a liquid attribute corresponding to a leakage portion to a mesh satisfying a boundary condition, and change the attribute of meshes adjacent to the mesh having the liquid attribute from the gas attribute to the liquid attribute; and
a path generation unit configured to connect meshes having the liquid attribute between different members constituting said structure to generate a leakage path.
2. A leakage path simulation system according to claim 1 , wherein said attribute setting unit is configured to set the attribute of meshes of mutually opposing sites between different members to a same liquid attribute when the joint portion between respective members constituting said structure is not sealed.
3. A leakage path simulation system according to claim 1 , wherein said model generation unit sets a mesh on each of the front and back faces of each individual member constituting said structure, and said attribute setting unit sets an attribute to the mesh of each of said front and back faces such that the attributes of opposing faces of respective members adjacent to each other are said changed attribute.
4. A leakage path simulation system according to claim 1 , wherein meshes of respective members on both sides of a sealed portion of the structure are connected when sealing a joint portion between respective members constituting said structure.
5. A leakage path simulation system according to claim 2 , wherein meshes of respective members on both sides of a sealed portion of the structure are connected when sealing a joint portion between respective members constituting said structure.
6. A leakage path simulation system according to claim 3 , wherein meshes of respective members on both sides of a sealed portion of the structure are connected when sealing a joint portion between respective members constituting said structure.
7. A leakage path simulation system according to claim 1 , wherein said path generation unit outputs the information relating to said generated leakage path on a display device.
8. A leakage path simulation method for predicting a leakage path of a structure formed by joining a plurality of members, comprising:
a first processing of generating an analysis model whereby the surface profile of each member constituting said structure is represented by a mesh;
a second processing of initializing all the meshes in said analysis model by setting thereto a gas attribute corresponding to a non-leakage portion, thereafter setting a liquid attribute corresponding to a leakage portion for a mesh satisfying a boundary condition, and changing the attribute of meshes adjacent to the mesh having the liquid attribute from the gas attribute to the liquid attribute; and
a third processing of connecting meshes having the liquid attribute between different members constituting said structure to generate a leakage path.
9. The leakage path simulation method according to claim 8 , wherein in said second processing, an attribute is set on each of the front and back faces of meshes of each individual member constituting said structure respectively so that the attributes of opposing faces of each of members adjacent to each other are said changed attribute.
