More Information
Summary:An embodiment of the design support apparatus includes: a component database in which 3D shape data of each component in equipment and 3D layout data of each component are stored; a design criteria database in which information which specifies a target component to be verified and determination criteria used for verification of a shortest inter-component distance between the target component and one or more peripheral components close to the target component are stored for each of the verification items; and a determination unit which extracts component data of the target component from the component database, extracts component data of each of the peripheral components corresponding to the extracted target component, and determines whether or not the inter-component distance between the target component and the peripheral components satisfies the determination criteria for each of the verification items.
