Ergonomics for Car Design

Ergonomics for Car Design is based on a best-in-class human modeling system. For many years, this has permitted detailed investigation into human-centered design issues in the context of a workplace before it physically exists. This specifically simulates the issues affecting humans within vehicles. Within the Ergonomics for Car Design app, you may optionally access individually licensed functions: Anthropometry and Posture Analysis.

It includes the following capabilities:

  • Tools include manikin generation, gender specification based on the 5th, 50th, and 95th percentile value, percentile specification, direct kinematics, and inverse kinematics manipulation techniques. There is also animation generation, monocular, binocular, and ambinocular simulation, along with output cones.
  • Provides very accurate simulation of humans and their interactions with products. This ensures that they operate naturally in a workplace tailored to their tasks and specifically focuses on creating and manipulating digital humans for "first level" human-product interaction analysis. Then manikins can use this to assess the suitability of a product for form, fit, and function.
  • Activity analysis capabilities focus on how humans interact with objects in a working environment. This also uses the effects of lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, and carrying on task performance. Access to these capabilities requires an additional license.
  • Specific capabilities that focus on vehicle design with humans in mind.

The Ergonomics for Car Design app supports design range management.
