Jack (CAD software)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jack is a 3-D interactive ergonomics and human factors CAD package developed by the University of Pennsylvanias Center for Human Modeling and Simulation. Now maintained and distributed bySiemens PLM Software, the package enables users to study and improve the ergonomics of product design and workplace tasks through the positioning of biomechanically accurate digital humans of various sizes in virtual environments. Jack and Jill digital humans can tell engineers what they can see and reach, how comfortable they are, when and why theyre getting hurt, when theyre getting tired, and other important ergonomics information. The packages principal features include a detailed human model, realistic behavioral controls, anthropometric scaling, task animation and evaluation systems, view analysis, automatic reach and grasp, and collision detection and avoidance (The University of Pennsylvania, 2001; EDS, 2003a).

University of Michigan 3D Static Strength Prediction Program

*** Version 6.0.6 - NOW AVAILABLE ***
Features Download The Center for Ergonomics at the University of Michigan College of Engineering has developed programs for analyzing manual materials-handling tasks. These programs are in use at over 2000 U.S. and international sites by ergonomists, engineers, loss-control specialists, physical and occupational therapists, researchers, and others who evaluate and design jobs.

What is 3D SSPP? 3D SSPP software predicts static strength requirements for tasks such as lifts, presses, pushes, and pulls. The program provides an approximate job simulation that includes posture data, force parameters and male/ female anthropometry. Output includes the percentage of men and women who have the strength to perform the described job, spinal compression forces, and data comparisons to NIOSH guidelines. The user can analyze torso twists and bends and make complex hand force entries. Analysis is aided by an automatic posture generation feature and three dimensional human graphic illustrations.

How can 3D SSPP help you? 3D SSPP can be used as an aid in the evaluation of the physical demands of a prescribed job. Furthermore, the 3D SSPP can aid the analyst in evaluating proposed workplace designs and redesigns prior to the actual construction or reconstruction of the workplace or task. The program is applicable to worker motions in three dimensional space. 3D SSPP is most useful in the analysis of the "slow" movements used in heavy materials handling tasks since the biomechanical computations assume that the effects of acceleration and momentum are negligible. Such tasks can be evaluated best by breaking the activity down into a sequence of static postures and analyzing each individual posture. The 3D SSPP assumes the analyst understands the application of the NIOSH design and upper limit criteria for strength and disc compression forces (refer to Appendix III for details). The program should not be used as the sole determinant of worker strength performance or job designs based on that performance. Other criteria and professional judgement are required to properly design a safe and productive job.

Is training available? Workshops are offered periodically through the Center for Occupational Health and Safety Engineering at the University of Michigan. Open enrollment courses are planned each year: Using the 3D

Static Strength Prediction Program. Future courses details will be posted when available. In addition special courses can be arranged for your group either at the University or on site.

3D SSPP is distributed by the University of Michigan Office of Technology Transfer.

3D SSPP Example Application

In this example, an analysis will be done of a worker lifting a heavy box and preparing to place the box on a dolly. This is a typical task for a person working in a warehouse. Similar analyses can be done for a wide variety of tasks.

Step 1: Gather Information

To do this analysis, we need various measurements of the worker, the box, and the posture the worker adopts to perform the lift. For the worker, we need to know the worker's sex, height, and weight. This information is entered into the Anthropometry dialog box. In this case, the worker is a 50% percentile male (69.7 inches tall and 165.6 lbs). The information about the box is entered into the Hand Loads dialog box. The box is 80 pounds and the force exerted by the box is directed downwards (this is a standard, unsupported lift). As a result, the force the worker must exert to lift the box is directed upwards. In order to get information about the posture, a video camera was used to record his movements. The movie was then digitized and several snapshots were taken. For this example, we chose to study the following posture:

Step 2: Determine the posture

Using the snapshot above, an estimation was made of the various joint angles. There are three methods that can be used to enter the joint angle information into 3D SSPP. First, if we input the relative location of the box to the worker's body, 3D SSPP can perform a posture prediction, which will automatically position the worker according to the inverse kinematics algorithm. This is often a good place to start. Second, 3D SSPP allows us to directly manipulate the posture by clicking and dragging various joints to the desired locations. The third method is to use the Joint Angles dialog box where we can directly input the angles of various joints. This method offers the most control. This is the method we used in this analysis.

The joint angles were then more precisely configured to match the joint angles in the snapshot. This was done by carefully adjusting the angles in the Joint Angles dialog box. The following screenshot shows the entire 3D SSPP window after the posture was entered.

Step 3: Perform the Analysis

3D SSPP can provide various analyses using the Report menu that include calculating the force and moment vectors, strength capabilities, and low back compression forces. The Analysis Summaryreport provides information about the L5/S1 compression forces and the percent of the population capable of performing this task.

The L5/S1 disc compression force for this lift is 701 +- 54 pounds. This value is calculated by the 2D Sagittal Plane Lowback Analysis Report included in 3D SSPP. NIOSH guidelines, based on biomechanical studies and industrial epidemiology, set the Back Compression Design Limit (BCDL) equal to 770 lbs (or 3400 newtons). At this level some workers would be at increased risk of injury. In this lifting task, although the 701 pounds does not exceed the BCDL, it is still fairly high and the task should be considered for improvement. According to this report, the vast majority of 50 percentile male workers have the necessary muscle strength to perform this task. Because the Analysis Summary report indicates that the low back compression force is a risk factor, additional information can be found regarding the low back in the 3D Lowback Analysis report.

This report provides a more complete breakdown of the components that contribute to the disc compression force. In addition, it also provides information about the disc shear forces. Note: This model uses a different algorithm to calculate the low back disc compression forces (it calculates the forces at L4/L5) than the 2D Sagittal Plane Lowback Analysis. As a result, the values may differ slightly. The information and analyses provided by 3D SSPP can be used to aid in evaluating the physical demands of a prescribed job and proposed workplace designs and redesigns prior to the actual construction or reconstruction of the workplace or task. For this lifting task, we would recommend that the worker avoid using this posture. 3D SSPP can be used to make posture recommendations by evaluating other postures to determine the safest posture. Reminder: This program should not be used as the sole determinant of worker strength performance or job designs based on that performance. Other criteria and professional judgement are required to properly design a safe and productive job.

HADRIAN

HADRIAN (Human Anthropometric Data Requirements Investigation and ANalysis) is an ergonomics design tool developed as part of an EPSRC funded three year project into 'Design for All'. Developed by the Design Ergonomics Group at Loughborough University, HADRIAN addresses the shortcomings with existing anthropometric data especially for individuals with very specific capabilities and needs such as those who are older or disabled. In addition HADRIAN also provides a means of exploiting this data for task analysis and a means of gaining user-trial type feedback during concept design.

HADRIAN's novel multivariate database contains data on anthropometry, joint mobility, reach volumes, and posture-based task capabilities for 100 people. These 100 people, the majority of whom are older or disabled are maintained as individual data sets. These data sets can then be used to inform design decisions by highlighting the capability issues of individuals within the population. In addition to the more traditional anthropometry and joint mobility measures, the database contains task capability data on a range of kitchen tasks. Kitchen tasks were identified by the older and disabled people interviewed as being important to their quality of life. Thus a range of activities were performed by the subjects, lifting and moving various one and two handed weights to high, worktop and low shelves, and into the oven. All weights were comfort maximums

reflecting the maximum weights these individuals were likely to lift, not what they could lift if they absolutely had to. In addition, all tasks were made as realistic as possible, so for example, weights lifted into / out of the oven required the use of oven gloves to avoid burning. The ability to perform the tasks were recorded for the database. In addition to the ability to perform a task, the way in which the task was performed was also recorded. This behaviour was converted into a postural code that could be used to predict behaviour for similar tasks in different situations. Thus, if an individual always knelt down to place an object on a low shelf, this behaviour would be predicted for all such tasks. This would also highlight the issue that similar tasks outside might prove a problem as the individual might be capable, but might refuse as they would have to kneel on the dirty / rough ground. In addition to using the database as a learning resource the designer can also user the individuals in the database to form a virtual user group of 100 human models. These human models can then be used to evaluate and optimise multivariate design issues involving access, fit, reach, vision, strength and posture through an integrated task analysis tool. HADRIAN works directly with the SAMMIE system so that any concept model in SAMMIE can be assessed by the 100 individuals in the database, performing the task as defined by the designer. The analysis results in a percentage excluded giving a representation of the number of people who would be unable to perform the task with the given design. In addition to highlighting who failed the task, the system also indicates why failure occurred and allows the designer to simply adjust their design, or to try alternative concepts with the same task and thus examine the inclusiveness of any given design.

What is RAMSIS? Key Features & Benefits Applications Modules

Specifications What is RAMSIS? The 3D CAD manikin RAMSIS is a highly accurate simulation software program for a wide range of design and construction analyses. RAMSIS addresses demands on ergonomics, comfort and safety as early as the planning stage. Latter-stage improvements can be dispensed with and the need for physical test benches is significantly reduced. RAMSIS analysis quality contributes considerably to series production readiness - and consequently to the economic success of the vehicle, since the system uses current, international body dimension databases to supply accurate representative results about product requirements for complex international target markets - roughly 3 to 5 times faster than conventional analysis methods. This reduces costs by up to 50% (Source: independent calculations by vehicle manufacturers). Analyses with RAMSIS can be applied to completely different vehicle types. Time and costs for timeconsuming space-saving tests for new vehicle concepts can be dispensed with. The system acquires and analyzes physical measurement sizes just as dependably as it does with the space, force and vision requirements of a target group. RAMSIS has all these factors flow into the design process - and then actively recommends ergonomic and expedient solutions based on the specific details of the project at hand.

Safework TM - a user-friendly program for the analysis of workstation ergonomicsRobert Gilbert, Robert Carrier / Gnicom inc. 0090-0200 : Completed
Poor workstation design is responsible for errors, poor posture, hazardous movements, and excessive exertion, all of which contribute to accidents and musculoskeletal injuries. The software developed in this project is capable of dynamic, detailed, and three-dimensional modelling of a person working at a workstation, and faithful reproduction of the anthropometric characteristics of specific populations. This accurate representation is possible thanks to the use of statistical models and databases of anthropometric data. SafeworkTM helps detect, analyse, and correct deficiencies of tools, machines, and workstations, and design new ones that are adapted to the needs of specific workers. Although SafeworkTM was designed by ergonomists and computer scientists, knowledge of these fields is not necessary to use the software. The software is currently commercially available from Les Consultants Gnicom Inc

Delmia SAFEWORK ProTM - Human Modeling

The Need
In the demanding global marketplace, ensuring that human fit, form and function are comprehensively addressed is becoming an increasingly important aspect of design. Manufacturers and designers strive to develop products that conform to all relevant Health and Safety standards and are "user-friendly" while still maximizing the productivity of their own workforce. Digital human modeling technology can assist a designer to determine the performance of people in the context of a workplace or a product before it exists and throughout its entire lifecycle.

The Technology
SAFEWORKS accurate manikin has the highest number of Anthropometric Variables (104), Segments (99) and Degrees of Freedom (149). It also has fully articulated spine & hand models as well as joints with coupled range of motion. Moreover, its unique Multivariate Algorithm for anthropometry allows the user to create accurate virtual humans from almost anywhere around the world. Finally, SAFEWORKS unique Boundary Mannequin Approach is essential for a better accommodation of targeted population. Other powerful SAFEWORK features include: Postural Analysis, Ergonomic Analysis, Force and Comfort Assessment, Task Module, Clothing Module, Animation Module, Collision Detection, Vision, Library concept, direct and inverse kinematics and more. Human Activity Analysis SAFEWORK Pro has been designed to evaluate all elements of human performance, from static posture analysis through to complex task activities. SAFEWORK Pro possesses a range of tools and methods that specifically analyze how a manikin will interact with objects in the virtual environment. The NIOSH 81/91 and SNOOK&CIRIELLO equations measure the effects of lifting/lowering, pushing/pulling and carrying to fully optimize task performance. After inputting an initial and final task posture, a designer can determine a number of task variables such as Action Limit, Recommended Weight Limit, and Maximum Lifting/Lowering Weight. Vision Analysis The SAFEWORK Pro Vision Module, derived from the NASA 3000 Guidelines, contains an accurate vision behavior model to imitate the realistic movement of the human vision so that "what the manikin sees, the operator sees" Four types of vision simulation are provided: binocular, ambinocular, monocular left and monocular right (stereoscopic viewing with advanced depth perception, is available in the Virtual Reality Module). Visual characteristics are displayed as peripheral cones, central cones, blind spot cones and central spot cones that permit the user to gain an insight into the manikins view. Postural Analysis The SAFEWORK Pro Postural Analysis Module permits users to quantitively and qualitatively analyze all aspects of manikin posture. Whole body and localized postures can be examined, scored and iterated to determine operator comfort and performance in accordance with any established comfort database. User-friendly dialogue panels provide posture information for all segments of the manikin, and colorcoding techniques allow for quick identification of problem areas and positioning of the manikin in an optimized posture. Virtual Reality The use of a Virtual Reality environment in ergonomics can evaluate a design through virtual mockups, which is much less costly than traditional mock-ups. These VR simulations have industrial applications either in the design (for example, a car dashboard) or in the manufacturing processes (to evaluate safety, operability or maintainability of a production line). All applications share the need for an articulated virtual manikin controlled by a set of motion capture devices placed on a human subject. These applications allow a "virtual immersion" where the goal is to recreate the "look and feel" of a complete environment with accuracy.

The Benefits
Earlier introduction of human factors into the design process Improve accommodation of target population Reduce the number of physical prototypes Reduce design timeframe and associated costs Accelerate time to market - Improve employee satisfaction Improve overall product quality Increase productivity

Status
The sales information on SAFEWORK such as pricing, appropriate products and services, etc. is available through SAFEWORK Web site. SAFEWORK 's detailed human models can be generated and used in Demia's manufacturing simulation programs. Likewise, integrated product design solution, CATIA V5 R6, will allow users to combine the superior human modeling capabilities of SAFEWORK with the CATIA product design tools to provide total design lifecycle human modeling.

Barriers
It is difficult to estimate quantitative benefit of SAFEWORK application in actual construction projects due to the characteristics of safety. While SAFEWORK has been applied to many manufacturing processes, there is not an actual application case in construction area. The development of detailed methodology of application in construction operations should be followed.
