Illustration of the process of digitizing human motions from recording with a motion capture system to reconstruct the motions and simulating them as a basis for subsequent analyses such as ergonomic evaluations.

Capturing and simulation of motions at an assembly workstation, taking into account the components and tools. Such motions are the basis for subsequent ergonomic evaluations.

Capture of ingress and exit processes on a truck to obtain highly accurate reference movements. These form the basis for a movement transformation, which calculates the adaptation of the movement to changed environmental or anthropometric conditions.

Relevant contact points and surfaces are defined to simulate the interaction of the human model Dynamicus with the environment. These describe variable boundary conditions that must be taken into account when transforming reference movements.

Simulation of the transformed ingress movement taking into account changed boundary conditions (step spacing, handrail inclination).

Simulation of the transformed ingress movement taking into account changed anthropometric data (body size).

Capturing and simulation of the motion of the test person and the environment when operating a car.

Capturing and simulation of the motion of the test person and the environment when entering a car.

Capturing and simulation of the motions of cooperating subjects.

Automated evaluation of work processes with the EAWS method.

Comparison of different strategies of an assembly process based on an EAWS evaluation.

Automated evaluation of work processes with the RULA method.

Simulation of a balancing exercise. The projected centre of gravity and the resulting force application point are shown.

Capturing and simulation of the motions of a subject and of moving parts. The test person and the ball are provided with targets or markers.

Combination of a motion capture system and force plates. The measured ground reaction forces are displayed. By recording the environmental interaction forces it is possible to calculate the internal loads (joint forces and moments) of the test person.

Capturing and simulation of a jump on force plates.

Combination of motion capture system, force plates and a hand-held force gauge. The measured ground reaction forces and the applied hand-arm forces are shown. The aim is to investigate joint loads during maximum force measurements.
