PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To test the operating state of a plant by performing three-dimensional CG display of contents of the plant design. SOLUTION: This plant design support system includes a storage means 13 which stores the contents of a plant design, the storage means 11, 14 and 15 which store the operating procedure manual/human attribute data, the means 8 and 22 which display the contents of plant design by means of a three- dimensional CG, a plant simulator 1 which outputs a prescribed plant event with simulation, a means 4 which changes the plant design contents based on the simulated output data of the simulator 1 and generates the behavior of a virtual operator according to the change of the plant design contents and based on the operating procedure manual/human attribute data, a decision means 5 which decides whether a prescribed operation of the plant design contents is completed based on the behavior of the virtual operator, and a design evaluation means 6 which evaluates the plant design contents based on the behavior of the virtual operator and the decision result of the means 5 and according to an evaluation standard.
