A performance evaluation method of a vehicle member includes a calculation process for performing an analysis using a partial structure CAE model modeling a module where a member of a vehicle to be evaluated and a collision test device for conducting a collision test on the member are combined, and obtaining a value of a collision performance evaluation parameter in the partial structure CAE model; a calculation process for determining a boundary condition of the partial structure CAE model; a calculation process for determining a test condition of a member collision test device based on the boundary condition of the partial structure CAE model; and a test process for conducting a collision test using a physical member collision test device and a physical member, based on the set condition of the member collision test device.
