Mannequin CAD Model – Design for Ergonomics

Mannequin CAD Model – Ergonomic Design With Creo 9
Human beings don’t come in one shape or size, so neither should the form, fit or function of your products! At TriStar PLM Solutions, we make sure your product design process more than meets the demands of the modern world.
With Creo 9, you can easily account for the uniqueness of users as you design products for them. After all, what good is a vehicle dashboard if the steering wheel blocks it, you find out that your design isn’t compliant with safety standards, or you failed to take account of the needs of your specific users? Creo 9 puts your users at the center of your ergonomic design process from the first moment through sophisticated, easy-to-use mannequin cad model functionality and vision analysis.
Fix The Problem of Product Service With a Mannequin Cad Model
With Creo 9 you can use a digital mannequin cad model to simulate these all-important human-product interactions. Discovering a product-user mismatch too late and causes longer time-to-market and increased product development costs.
Quickly insert and customize digital human models, using a mannequin cad model library to speed the selection and reuse of mannequin data. With Creo 9 you can go into greater detail, choosing gender, height, weight, arm length, shoe size, waist circumference, and age among other customizations!
Easily manipulate your digital mannequin cad model’s posture using Creo 9 functionality and a comprehensive library of macro (stand, pull, push, reach) and micro postures (arm, hand, finger, and feet positioning). Create custom postures and take advantage of a simplified and enhanced user experience for mannequin manipulation.
Work with reach envelopes and vision cones to validate design considerations and field of view and create multiple reach constraints and identify when target is out of reach.
Use the “look at” command to create vision windows to “see” what the digital mannequin cad model can see.
As any driver of an unfamiliar car knows, the amount your user can see outside your product matters, Now, using the new Vision Field Analysis capability, you can analyze the digital mannequin cad model’s line of sight and field of view. You can also evaluate sightlines with incorporated obstructed object definitions, and ensure quality, safety, and adherence to visibility standards. This applies to the analysis of cameras and displays as well.
When something can be seen, it’s easier to find and use. With the new Vision Field Analysis capability, you can confirm intended visibility and identify potential gaps in coverage that might affect your design.
Validate Material Handling (Rapid Upper Limb Assessment or RULA), Pushing/Pulling (Snook Tables or Snook), Lifting/ Lowering (Snook), Carrying (Snook), and Lifting/Lowering (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health or NIOSH) standards.
- Define and save digital mannequin cad model postures associated with the analysis.
- Reuse and apply saved positions for target populations.
- Create custom mannequin populations, editing a given set of dimensions of a new custom mannequin.
- Identify and validate acceptable limits for the desired population. Reuse and repeat the analysis for different populations and criteria.
The Creo Advantage of Mannequin CAD Models
Creo 9 is the 3D CAD solution that helps you accelerate product innovation so you can build better products faster. Creo 9 is easy-to-learn and seamlessly takes you from the earliest phases of product design to manufacturing, and beyond. You can combine powerful, proven functionality with new technologies such as generative design, augmented reality, real-time simulation, additive manufacturing, and IIoT. These tools help you to iterate faster, reduce costs and improve product quality. The world of product development moves quickly, and only Creo 9 delivers the transformative mannequin CAD model tools you need to build a competitive advantage and gain market share.
