1. A simulation method of a battery using molten salt as an electrolyte, the method comprising the steps of:
simulating behavior of the battery by increasing a temperature of the molten salt, wherein:
the battery comprises:
a heat generation source,
a heat generation body that starts to generate heat by combustion of the heat generation source, and
a power generation cell formed by stacking a positive electrode layer, an electrolyte layer, and a negative electrode layer, and
the battery is a bipolar type thermal battery in which the heat generation body and the power generation cell are stacked along a stacking direction of the positive electrode layer, the electrolyte layer, and the negative electrode layer; and
calculating a calorific value in the exothermic reaction based on a packing amount and a temperature of the heat generation source.
