Using the Human Measurements Editor

OverviewThe Human Measurements Editor is based on a best-in-class human modeling

system. It allows you to investigate human-centered design issues within the contextof the workplace before it physically exists. The Human Measurements editor allowsyou to create manikins incorporating characteristics of any human from anypopulation in the world

There are several tools contained within the Human Measurements Editor, such as:Variable Edit ion Lis t

Using the

Variable

Edition List

The Variable Edition list contains a wide selection of human size characteristicsthat you can apply to the manikins you create. This collection of characteristics is

called Anthropometry Characteristics. After setting the appropriate variable

characteristics, you can save them as part of the manikin.

In this section, you will open the Human Measurements Editor workbench, andapply various characteristics to existing manikins.

Manikin

The filtering feature allows you to display only those anthropometric variablesthat you want to see. You can filter the following items:

Partthis item consists of the manikin body, head, torso, arm, hand, leg, and foot. You can select to

display any or all of these body parts.

Typethis item refers to anthropometric measurement types of the manikin such as circumference,

height, length, breadth, depth, and mass. You can select to activate any or all of these items.

Managementthis item refers to the way the variable values are calculated. If automatic, only the

variables calculated by the system are display. If manual, critical (user-defined) variables aredisplayed.

Using

Interpolation

The Interpolation button allows you to view the limits of Accommodation. Theseare percentages that represent the total amount of the population you are

looking at. These figures take into consideration the various characteristics of

the human population and apply them to the manikins in your simulation.

Boundary values should not be changed except in very specific cases.

Characteristics

There are five populations from which you can choose when you create yourmanikins. However, the Human Solutions product provides a method for

creating files representing other populations in addition to those already

available. The five populations available by default are:

American

Canadian

FrenchJapanese

Korean

Creating a population file is a subject for an advanced Human Solutions class.

You should find the five populations currently available to be sufficient for your

needs.

Anthropometry

After you have customized your manikins to fit your simulation needs, youshould save the anthropometry so that you can apply those traits to other

manikins as necessary. Recall that you should not save more than a single

instance of a manikin; instead, you can save the anthropometry in a catalog

and then apply it to new manikins to best suit your simulation requirements.
