1. A simulation method wherein,
a flow is simulated using a system including a plurality of particles defined in a virtual space such that particles linked with a disturbance source of the flow in the process of motion are subject to a process different from that of the other particles.
2. The simulation method according to claim 1, wherein
particles entering an interface layer of the disturbance source are subject to a process different from that of the other particles.
3. The simulation method according to claim 1, wherein
particles that interact with the source of disturbance are subject to a process different from that of the other particles.
4. The simulation method according to claim 1, wherein
a predetermined display device is caused to display particles linked with the source of disturbance in a mode different from that of the other particles.
5. An analyzing device comprising:
a particle definition unit configured to define a system including a plurality of particles in a virtual space;
a constraint assigning unit configured to assign a constraint to the system defined by the particle definition unit so as to present a flow; and
a numerical computation unit configured to numerically compute a governing equation that governs the motion of each particle of the particle system to which the constraint is assigned by the constraint assigning unit, wherein
the numerical computation unit identifies particles linked with a disturbance source of the flow,
the analyzing device further comprising:
a processing unit configured to subject identified particles to a process different from that of the other particles.

the control portion compares the operation input that is input to the input portion in order to execute the job for performing the image formation to the guidance information corresponding to the job that is executed by the operation input, and
in a case where an actual frequency of the operation input is greater than a frequency of operation input that is specified in the operation procedure of the guidance information, causes the guidance information to be displayed.
2. The image forming apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein
in the input portion, it is possible to perform input operation for a plurality of operation keys, and
the control portion specifies a job to be executed by the image forming portion based on the operation input for the operation key to display the guidance information for executing the specified job.
3. An image forming apparatus comprising:
an input portion for accepting operation input by a user;
an image forming portion for executing a job for performing image formation of image data on a recording medium according to the operation input for the input portion;
a storage portion for storing in advance guidance information for guiding an optimal operation procedure for executing the job;
a display portion for displaying the guidance information that is stored in the storage portion; and
a control portion for controlling display of the display portion, wherein
