Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a first extraction unit and a second extraction unit. The first extraction unit extracts a pouch-shaped portion from drawing information on a mold. The second extraction unit extracts a site from which heat is not easily released from the pouch-shaped portion.

Claims (19)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a memory;

a display; and

a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the display, wherein the processor is configured to:

extract a pouch-shaped portion from drawing information on a mold;

extract a heat reservoir site from which heat is accumulated from the pouch-shaped portion; and

present the heat reservoir site or a molding time as a result of a process performed by the processor,

wherein the molding time is a value calculated using a coefficient calculated using a sectional area of the pouch-shaped portion and an area of the adjacent surface or using the sectional area of the pouch-shaped portion and a volume of the pouch-shaped portion, wherein based on the molding time, changing a shape of the pouch-shaped portion is presented on the mold.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor performs a first when the adjacent surface—is a flat surface and performs a second process when the adjacent surface is not a flat surface.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein, in a case where the adjacent surface is a flat surface, the processor extracts a surface that makes an angle of 180 degrees or less with the adjacent surface as the bottom surface, and extracts a portion formed by the bottom surface and the adjacent surface as the pouch-shaped portion.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein, in a case where the adjacent surface is not a flat surface, the processor the pouch-shaped portion using a distance between a first point on a boundary between the bottom surface and the adjacent surface and a second point on a boundary with the adjacent surface located in an opposite direction from the bottom surface, and

wherein the second point is a location on a side of the adjacent surface that is not a side on which the bottom surface and the adjacent surface are in contact.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor extracts the heat reservoir site on a basis of a coefficient calculated using the sectional area of the pouch-shaped portion and the area of the adjacent surface or using the sectional area of the pouch-shaped portion and the volume of the pouch-shaped portion.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein the sectional area is an area of a sectional surface of the pouch-shaped portion that is perpendicular to a draft direction at a smallest height of the pouch shaped portion.
