RESISTANCE-RELATED VALUE ESTIMATING METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SEPARATOR, ITS PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM STORING IT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a separator resistance-related value estimating method and a device capable of estimating the resistance-related value of a separator without actually manufacturing the separator, its program, and a recording medium storing the same. SOLUTION: A resistance-related value estimating device sets up the two-dimensional positions of fibers based on random numbers, corresponding to the number of fibers of a virtual separator, and the position of each of fibers in the direction of y out of the two-dimensional positions of fibers is reset based on a y-direction density distribution coefficient. Potential of mesh points (a) which are not present in fibers are calculated based on a potential set at the outermost periphery of the virtual separator, a resistance increase rate of the separator is calculated in the direction of y from both the upper and lower side of a current based on the potentials of the mesh points (a), and when the ratio of the one resistance-related value to the other resistance-related value is within a prescribed range of value, the resistance-related value is considered as that of the virtual separator.
