Original Abstract Submitted
A simulation device comprises a drawing unit configured to draw a virtual facility corresponding to a facility in a virtual space, the virtual facility having a virtual movable portion corresponding to a movable portion of the facility; and a calculation unit configured to compute a physical quantity including a moment of inertia acting on the movable portion when operating the movable portion and to repeatedly calculate an operation speed of the virtual movable portion using the calculated physical quantity. The drawing unit draws a motion of the virtual movable portion using the calculated operation speed of the virtual movable portion.
