Human Modeling - Siemens PLM Software - #2

NX Human Modeling creates reach zones that depict the areas of maximum reach for digital humans. With this tool, designers can create a reach surface by specifying a predefined location at the fingers, elbows or shoulders, or use different types of constraints when generating the reach surface.

This feature can be used to determine clearance and interference with other components in the product model. Reach zones can be dynamically linked to the human model so that the zone automatically adjusts when the human model is changed.

NX Human Modeling is available as an add-on software module for NX Mach Series solutions.

NX Human Modeling Posture Prediction extends human modeling with capabilities for positioning drivers, front passengers or rear passengers in seated positions inside an automotive vehicle. Designers can position the hands and feet in a specific location, such as the driver's hands and feet touching the steering wheel and brake pedal.

The posture assumed by the human model is anatomically based on the UMTRI ASPECT model, the Automotive Seat Packaging Evaluation Tool model developed by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute. This model predicts Posture prediction with reach zone. the occupant's hip location, eye locations and the arm

and leg positions based on the type of vehicle and the occupant's hand and foot locations. Both class A and class B vehicles are supported.

NX Human Modeling Posture Prediction uses established posture models. The models are based on seat data for either the pre-ASPECT J826 physical manikin measurements, or the new post-ASPECT physical device, which primarily includes lumbar support prominence measurement as a new feature.

NX Human Modeling Posture Prediction is available as an add-on software module for NX Mach Series solutions. NX Human Modeling is a prerequisite.
