Abstract
Abstract An elimination work simulator has not only a difference operation processor (122) to attain a difference between work object space data and work space data but also a product operation processor (121) to execute a product operation therebetween. Elimination work space data outputted from the product operation processor is sequentially stored; whereas, at least the latent data of the work object space data outputted from the difference operation processor is stored so as to minimize the amount of data to be preserved. When displaying the work object space data, an animation display thereof can be conducted in the same or opposite direction of the order of the work operations by appropriately using the two kinds of data.
