The present invention provides a printed wiring board design aiding
apparatus, method, and program that can easily and inexpensively predict
the displacement of a printed wiring board of complicated shape and
configuration due to temperature change. The printed wiring board design
aiding program makes a computer execute the steps including a mesh
division step that divides an analytical model of a printed wiring board
obtained as data into meshes, a mesh displacement calculation step that
calculates displacements of respective meshes of a printed wiring board
which is divided in the mesh division step, a mesh displacement
connection step that connects mesh displacements calculated in the mesh
displacement calculation step so that the inclination of borders of
respective meshes become equal, and a displacement calculation step that
calculates a displacement using an entire displacement of a printed
wiring board which is obtained in the mesh displacement connection step.
