People stand or sit in a specific way when performing real-world tasks. To simulate these postures, you can create and save postures, or you can import a posture from a posture library and edit it. Over time, you create and save a wide range of manikin body positions for performing specific tasks relevant to their designs.

After you insert a manikin, you manipulate it until it conforms to a position or a posture in which a task would normally be performed. When you modify a posture or apply a posture from the posture library to the manikin, you can save it as a snapshot for later use in an analysis. You can also manipulate the manikin's posture and save it in a posture library for reuse.
