A surgical simulation model generating method includes: a first process in which a computing unit acquires geometrical information of an organ from a medical image stored in a storage unit, including an image of the organ, and generates volume data for the organ a second process in which, after the first process, the computing unit forms nodal points by meshing the organ represented by the generated volume data a third process in which the computing unit generates a simulated membrane that covers the organ represented by the volume data meshed in the second process and a fourth process in which the computing unit generates a simulated organ by drawing an imaginary line so as to extend from each nodal point formed on a surface of the organ represented by the volume data meshed in the second process in a direction that intersects the simulated membrane and thereby forming a membrane nodal point at a point where the imaginary line intersects the simulated membrane generated in the third process, and by arranging on each imaginary line an imaginary inter-membrane spring that connects between the nodal point formed on the surface of the organ and the membrane nodal point, while also arranging an in-plane spring that connects between adjacent membrane nodal points on the simulated membrane.
