Abstract

This paper proposes an efficient case based method of constructing a coal molecular structure model from many pieces of threedimensional block data. In this method, the block data, which is a partial structure that consists of a few aromatic fragments, are optimized in terms of steric energy and are stored in the case base in advance. This method consists of the following two processes: (1) retrieving suitable three-dimensional block data from the case base, and (2) combining them involving less stress. In order to effectively retrieve well-matched block data, the three-dimensional similarity between the blocks is evaluated. We found that this method can derive molecular structures more scientifically and in more quickly than the hand-made structures.
