The present invention has been made to provide a laser bending process
estimation apparatus, a laser bending process estimation program, and a
laser bending process estimation method capable of estimating a result of
a laser bending process without an actual workpiece. A laser bending
process estimation apparatus that estimates a result of a bending process
performed using a laser beam comprises: a process condition acquisition
section 1 that acquires a process condition of the bending process; an
analysis model creation section 3 that creates an analysis model based on
the process condition acquired by the process condition acquisition
section 1; and an analysis section 5 that performs heat transfer analysis
and heat stress analysis based on the analysis model created by the
analysis model creation section 3 to calculate an analysis result of the
bending process.
