Defining a Manikin Posture Prediction

Once you have the package defined, and a manikin assigned in the Interactions Scenario Definition dialog box with that package, you can position the occupant within the vehicle interior dimensions. The posture position data propagates in the database.

Before you begin: Define the package then a manikin can insert into the scenario.
