The effective use of computational modeling and simulation tools early in the design process
is arguably becoming a gold standard for modern product development. Compared to many …

The history, status and outlook of the research and development actions associated with the
creation of the digital human modelling tool intelligently moving manikins (IMMA) are …

Digital human modelling (DHM) has been introduced in the product and production
development process to provide the possibility of early analysis and verification of human …

This paper presents an approach to automatically generate predetermined motion time
system (PMTS) based assembly instruction lists from simulations within digital human …

Virtual reality (VR) technologies can support the planning and implementation of new
workstations in various industry sectors, including in automotive assembly. Starting in the …

We introduce a novel digital factory layout tool that optimizes both the layout of machines
and the corresponding ergonomic logistics considering space constraints. A model is …

There are many approaches on how to make digital manikins replicate how real humans
perform tasks. The manikin motions can, for instance, be computed by algorithms based on …

Effective simulation of manual assembly operations considering ergonomic load and
clearance demands requires detailed modeling of human body kinematics and motions …

Digital human modelling (DHM) allows ergonomic risk assessment to be performed at early
stages of design and development. Such assessment is typically based on observational …

BACKGROUND: In the 90s, digital human manikins (DHMs) were introduced in planning of
workstations, by static or semi-static simulations. Modern DHMs can simulate dynamic work …
