Abstract

A design support method includes: executing by a computer operations of: moving, in an arbitrary direction, a first particle that is placed at a position in an internal space of a three-dimensional model of a design target and has a diameter of a size; recording a movement trace of the first particle; and calculating a volume of a first spatial region formed by the recorded movement trace.
