DESIGN AID METHOD AND DESIGN AID DEVICE FOR METALLIC MATERIAL

A design aid method of aiding in metallic material design by a computer comprises: inputting a desired property value to a database and searching for a chemical composition of elements in metal and a production condition, the database being generated using at least one mathematical model in which input information including a chemical composition of elements in metal and a production condition and output information including a property value of a metallic material are associated with each other, and storing, in association with input data of each mesh obtained by partitioning an input range corresponding to the input information into a plurality of intervals, output data of the mathematical model corresponding to the input data; and presenting the chemical composition of elements in metal and the production condition corresponding to the desired property value that are obtained in the searching.
