Abstract

An analysis method of analyzing a discharge phenomenon in an information processing apparatus having a memory includes calculating differences in potential between nodes on a first surface of a meshed simulation model and the corresponding nodes on a second surface thereof based on a predetermined amount of charge of each node before the discharge and the permittivity of each element of the simulation model; storing information concerning a pair of nodes having the difference in potential which exceeds a Paschen voltage determined from the distance between the nodes; and analyzing an amount of charge moved due to the discharge and electric potential distribution after the discharge based on the stored information and the amount of charge of each node before the discharge and storing the analyzed amount of charge and the electric potential distribution.
