Abstract:
A simulation apparatus, including: a coordinate setting unit for setting slow coordinates and fast coordinates based on mass point coordinates; a coordinate extraction unit for obtaining a structure of the fast coordinates by subordinating the fast coordinates to the slow coordinates and obtaining, by taking into account influence of a change in the fast coordinates on the slow coordinates due to a change in the slow coordinates, a structure of the slow coordinates as a function of collective coordinate(s); and an inverse transformation unit for predicting time evolution of the mass point coordinates based on the collective coordinate(s), which can be obtained as a solution of a motion equation, structure of the slow coordinates, and structure of the fast coordinates.
