Patent attributes
This invention systematically creates models that simulate operations from a component of a single function to a machine that combines many components and also to a system that combines a plurality of machines, which can be expressed by all physical systems such as an electric system and mechanical system, solid-state system and fluid system, and the like. The invention creates an overall function simulation model using a plurality of function simulation models which are independently provided for predetermined functions and are coupled via potential and flow variables. When respective function simulation models include linear characteristic elements A, B, C, E, F, and G and at least one function simulation model includes nonlinear characteristic elements X and Y, the nonlinear characteristic elements are separated from the linear characteristic elements by handling the nonlinear characteristics as functions in the function simulation model, the plurality of function simulation models are integrated as linear characteristic elements (integration process), and the nonlinear characteristic elements are linked to the functions in the integrated function simulation model (succession process).
