DELMIA’s Best in Class Human Solutions

Manufacturing organizations around the world con-tinue to design and develop machines, vehicles,and products that are capable of performing better,faster, and longer. An increasingly important designconsideration is to ensurethat these technologicalinnovations are beingdesigned from theperspective of thepeople who actuallybuild, maintain, andoperate them. From afactory worker to anaircraft pilot—today’smanufacturers mustconsider these HumanFactors (HF) early inthe product life cycle.

DELMIA’s HumanSolutions, fully integrat-ed into the DELMIADigital Process for Manufacture (DPM) solutions,provides such organizations with a suite of humansimulation and HF tools specifically geared towardsunderstanding and optimizing the relationshipbetween humans and the products they manufac-ture, install, operate and maintain.

To ensure competitiveness in the global market-place, manufacturing organizations are becomingincreasingly aware of the value in designing manu-

facturing facilities specifically geared to the skillsand limitations of the local workforce. Ensuring thatemployees are used to their maximum potential—ina safe, ergonomically efficient environment—can bedetermined by combining DELMIA’s extensiveHuman Solutions portfolio with an organization’s

human factors ‘know-how’.

People are Important

In the demanding globalmarketplace, ensuring thathuman fit, form and func-tion are comprehensivelyaddressed is becoming anincreasingly importantaspect of design.Manufacturers and design-ers strive to develop prod-ucts that conform to all rel-evant Health and Safetystandards and are “user-

friendly” while still maximiz-ing the productivity of their own workforce.

Digital human modeling technology can assist adesigner in determining the performance of peoplein the context of a workplace or a product before itexists and throughout its entire lifecycle.

Human Factors: Maximizes human com-fort, safety, and performance and analyzemanikin interaction in the virtual environ-ment.

Total Design Lifecycle Human Modeling

Creating and developing products based on thecapabilities and limitations of people is not a newconcept. Human Factors (HF) Engineering hasproven that every stage of a product lifecycle hasa common component—people. People whomanufacture, people whoinstall, people whooperate, people whomaintain.

The DELMIA Humansolutions are fully inte-grated into the DELMIADPM solutions. Thisseamless integrationprovides an intuitivecomponent in thedesign process, trulysupporting the conceptof user-centered design. Inrecognition of the varying requirements of anorganization, DELMIA has specifically designedand packaged the Human Solutions to ensure thatthe appropriate amount of technology is placed oneach user’s desktop.

Human Builder

Human Builder permits the intuitive creation andmanipulation of accurate standard digital human

for initial worker-product interaction analysis.Human Builder offers a user-friendly interface andensures that first level Human Factors studies canbe undertaken by non-Human Factors specialists.Simple pull-down menus are used to create maleand female standard manikins (Name, Gender,

5th, 50th, 95th percentile).The sophisticatedmanikin structure con-sists of 99 independentlinks, segments andellipses. In addition, themanikin possesses fullyarticulated hand, spine,shoulder, and neckmodels to accuratelyreproduce natural move-ment, which includesseven default InverseKinematics for manikinmotion. The DELMIAHuman Manikin is inter-actively positioned using

the compass, or by select-ing objects to be reached. Direct kinematicsmanipulators can be employed to accurately "finetune" manikin posture by manipulating individualsegments in each degree of freedom.

Manikin vision assessment permits a designer tounderstand what an operator or maintainer would"see" in a task environment. A separate vision win-dow displays the vision field from the manikin per-spective to assess visual disability or limitations.

Human Task Simulation

DELMIA Human Task Simulation is a powerfulhuman modeling tool used to create, validate, andsimulate activities for "workers" using the DPM plan-ning and simulation infrastructure. Workers performthese activities within the PPRenvironment where theymay walk to a specific loca-tion, move from one targetposture to another, follow-ing the trajectory or path ofan object and pick andplace parts in the workarea.

Users can also establishpart relations to constrainspecific segments of theworker to parts or tools inits environment. Positionconstraints are also storedfrom selected segments toselected 3D objects in theenvironment. Those constraints are subsequentlysolved to update the posture the next time the activityis modified.

Human Solutions can be combined with DELMIA’sDPM Assembly to analyze the relationship betweenworkers and other entities within the simulation. Theycan be simulated and validated using the powerfulprocess simulation capabilities within DPM, allowingthe user to test multiple alternatives for the work

humans must accomplish in a specific manufactur-ing, maintainability and assembly environment.

Human Activity Analysis

Human Activity Analysis allows the user to maximizehuman comfort, safety, and

performance through awide range of advancedergonomics analysis toolsthat comprehensively eval-uate all elements of ahumans interactions with aworkcell. DELMIA’sadvanced human activitytools specifically analyzehow a worker will interactwith objects in the virtualenvironment. Users canaccurately predict humanperformance, ensuring con-formance to factory stan-

dards and maximizing performance. DELMIA Human Activity Analysisincludes a wide range of ergonomics tools for analyz-ing worker performance such as:

• Analyzes lifting, lowering, and carrying tasksusing the NIOSH 81 and 91 equations

• Evaluates push and pull tasks using the SNOOKand CIRIELLO equations

• RULA for arm position assessment , with theability to customize RULA specifications

Human Posture AnalysisHuman Posture Analysis permits the user to quanti-tatively and qualitatively analyze all aspects ofworker’s posture. Whole body and localized posturescan be examined, scored and iterated to determineworker comfort and performance when interactingwith the product in accor-dance with publishedcomfort databases.

User-friendly dialoguepanels provide posturalinformation for all seg-ments of the manikin andcolor coding techniquesensure that problem areascan be quickly identifiedand iterated to optimizeposture. Human PostureAnalysis allows users tocreate their own specificcomfort and strengthlibrary for the needs ofeach individual application.

• Provides lock/unlock Degrees Of Freedom

• Displays, defines and manipulates joint limitsin terms of comfort, strength and precision

• Scores postures according to the preferredmotion zones

• Finds best posture automatically

• Supports published comfort databases for postural analysis

• User defined comfort and posture databases

Human Measurements Editor

Human Measurements Editor allows the creation ofadvanced, user-defined manikins via a suite ofadvanced anthropometry tools. Manikins can thenbe used to assess the suitability of a product orprocess against its intended target audience.

Upon user input of appro-priate critical design vari-ables, a multi-normal sta-tistical algorithm automati-cally adjusts all otheranthropometry variables tocreate manikins that existwithin the target popula-tion. This unique “bound-ary” manikin techniqueensures that designersaccommodate their entiretarget population using aminimum number ofmanikins. The intuitiveGraphical User Interface

permits designers to analyzethe functional relationships between anthropometryvariables. In addition, the user can define task-relat-ed critical values for detailed investigation whileHuman Measurements Editor determines the valuesfor remaining variables.

The DELMIA Digital Manufacturing SolutionsDELMIA’s portfolio of digital manufacturing solutions are categorized in three distinct domainsuites, based on how the impact the flow of the manufacturing process. Each domain employs aset of tools that steps through the entire manufacturing process from concept to implementation.

Human & the PPR Hub for ManufacturingThe Product-Process-Resource data collaboration system, called the PPR Hub for Manufacturing, is aunique data model that provides the storage and management of all product, process, and resource infor-mation required throughout the product lifecycle. The PPR model is at the heart of Dassault Systemes’Product Lifecycle Management solutions, ensuring the integration between CATIA, ENOVIA, SMARTEAMand DELMIA. CATIA provides the product solution; DELMIA provides the process and resource solution;and ENOVIA & SMARTEAM provide the lifecycle applications and decision support tools.
