Human Catalogs

Human Catalogs

The use of catalogs to retrieve static postures, tools related postures, special population & industry specific anthropometry as well as other manikin-related attribute data is an effective way to improve the user-experience and reduce time associated with generating simulations or workplace.

Key Benefits

• Static Postures such as Climbing, Crawling/Lying, Sitting/Standing, Kneeling, Reaching/Pointing, and Pushing
• Grasping Postures that are linked with the use of tools and equipment
• Preferred Angles information that are related to the comfort, safety and strength or deployment of force
• Anthropometry models that are linked to the size of different populations or boundary manikins
• Human Task simulations for generic motion transition such as Ingress/Egress car, Standing to crawling and Kneeling to standing
• Create a consistent set of manikin attributes within an organization
• Provide a mechanism for the sharing/dissemination of consistent data between all relevant stakeholders within the organization.
• Reduce time associated with manually creating postures and associated constraints / attach / offset to fulfill the scenario of the manikin reaching and grabbing a tool, by permitting the user to paste a locale posture as well as the associated constraints and off-sets directly from a pre-determined catalog
• Re-use major components of manikin-related data within all appropriate simulations
