1. A simulation device which calculates an electrical property of a power line communication (PLC) network, the simulation device comprising:
a layout setting unit which sets a layout of the PLC network;
a parameter setting unit which sets an electrical parameter of the PLC network;
a simulation execution unit which executes a simulation of the PLC network; and
a result output unit which outputs the electrical property obtained by the simulation executed by the simulation execution unit,
wherein the layout setting unit includes:
an information obtaining unit which obtains structure information and position information, the structure information indicating a structure of a building where the PLC network is to be provided, the position information indicating a position of each of one or more elements included in the PLC network; and
a display information output unit which displays, on a display unit that displays information that relates to the PLC network, a diagram that is based on the structure information, and displays at least a portion of the PLC network that is based on the position information such that the portion is superimposed on the diagram.
