Abstract
A designed object workability evaluating system for evaluating quantitatively at a stage of designing an article whether a structure of the article as designed can be realized with work easy to do in a manufacturing stage for thereby selectively determining a best structure from a plurality of design plans through comparative evaluation thereof. A server machine section of the system includes an evaluation-destined element estimating module for estimating the evaluation-destined elements to be performed on parts constituting an article given by a design plan subjected to evaluation, a part workability evaluation module for evaluating easiness of works to be performed on the parts, an article workability evaluation module for evaluating easiness of works involved in realizing the article, and a best design plan selection/determination module for selectively determining a best structure on the basis of comparative evaluation of a plurality of design plans.
