About Manikin Analyses
You create an analysis to evaluate the ergonomic aspects of a design according to a specific standard, or create an analysis according to your own requirements for a specific project or design using user-defined manikins or postures.
You can perform the following type of measurement:
• Manikin Angle—Measures the angle between two adjacent manikin segments on a single manikin.
You can run the following types of analysis:
• NIOSH—Determines whether, according to NIOSH standards, the intended weight can be lifted or lowered by the type of person selected.
• RULA—Determines whether, according to RULA standards, the intended task posture is appropriate for the type of person selected.
• SNOOK—Determines whether, according to SNOOK standards, the intended weight can be carried, lifted/lowered, or pushed/pulled by the type of person selected.
An analysis can be saved either as a saved analysis or as a feature. When an analysis is saved as a feature, it appears in the Model Tree under the manikin assembly placeholder.
