COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM FOR THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY CALCULATION PROGRAM, THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY CALCULATION METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a program for causing a computer to execute a process for thermal conductivity calculation, the process includes receiving information indicating a surface of a first part, on which a particular part having high elasticity is disposed; receiving specification information indicating a second part in contact with the particular part; receiving information Indicating a first thickness of the particular part; calculating a second thickness of the particular part after compressed when the particular part is placed between the surface and the second part; and calculating a thermal conductivity of the compressed particular part having the second thickness, according to an amount of compression indicating a difference between the first and the second thicknesses and to a correspondence relationship between a thermal resistance of the particular part and an amount obtained by subtracting a thickness of the compressed particular part from the first thickness.
