Human modelling software
UGS, represented in Australia by PLM , has released NX Human Modeling, software that allows users to build virtual product design environments and simulate workplace tasks using digital humans.
Ergonomics analysis at the design stage.
It is based on UGS’ E-factory Jack human simulation and ergonomics analysis software. It helps enterprises improve the ergonomics of product designs and associated workplace tasks during the design phase. It allows positioning of varying sizes of digital humans directly within the virtual design environment. Users can take advantage of design in context to conduct product validation within the integrated environment for a quicker, more efficient and seamless product development workflow.
Because NX Human Modeling is embedded within NX 3, designers can validate product designs for ergonomic considerations, including packaging studies such as posture, accessibility and reach. This allows the designer to deliver a comprehensive system with the ability to control ergonomic considerations, therefore improving product quality.
It allows designers to digitally simulate human interaction with the end product. This extends the validation process beyond simple form, fit and function into the science of ergonomics.
It enables reductions in product development time, eliminating unnecessary waste from the process and supporting a lean design approach. Incorporating human models into the digital product development process can significantly reduce the dependency on physical prototypes in the product development process. This results products reaching the market quicker and eliminates costs associated with multiple prototypes.
