METHOD OF ASSISTING EXECUTION OF PLURAL SIMULATION PROGRAMS FOR COUPLED SIMULATION

Each of a plurality of simulation programs is linked with a data conversion library and is executed as a simulation process. A data conversion process is executed in correspondence with each simulation process. In exchanging data resulted from simulation by the simulation process of one of the simulation programs with simulation processes of the other simulation programs, the data conversion process provided for a sending simulation process determines a receiving simulation process to which the data is to be sent, and sends the data to the data conversion process corresponding to the receiving simulation process. The data conversion process for the receiving simulation process performs data conversion for absorbing difference between the base of the sending simulation process and the base of the receiving simulation process, and transfers the data after the conversion to the receiving simulation process.
