About Using Offset

This describes the concepts of using the offset definition dialog box when using it for segment offset.

In redefining the offset, the Robot snaps to manikin skin points. Thus, the subsequent reach operation resolves from the skin rather than the central point of the segment. There is the possibility to create multiple offsets for the same segment and to decide which segment is the active offset at the current time. This is useful mainly in the manufacturing scenarios where the manikin is taking care of multiple tools within a same simulation or workstation. Each tool can then have its own offset specified on the manikin's hand.

If required, you can create multiple offsets for the same segment and decide which offset is the active offset at the current time. This is useful in the manufacturing scenarios where the manikin is using multiple tools within one simulation or workstation. Each tool can then have its own offset specified on the manikin's hand.

This point is linked to the segment and uses this as an offset. If the segment selected is the pelvis (phantom segment), you are able to specify an offset directly on the H-Point location. Offsets have a 3D representation in the work area. The hide/show command, as well as the name and color editing in the properties command of the context menu are available.

Also, this modifies existing functionality: redefinition of offset. An old file loaded into the new version of the program creates an offset and automatically activates where the old redefined offset was. Also, save or load these offsets into a catalog.
