Pro/ENGINEER Manikin Analysis Extension

Analyze Human-Product Interactions

Optimizing the relationships between products and their users can present challenges to product designers in a variety of industries, especially if the users need to repetitively push, pull, carry or lift the products. After inserting a digital manikin into your 3D product model using the Pro/ENGINEER Manikin Extension, you can analyze human-product interaction scenarios for optimal performance with Pro/ENGINEER Manikin Analysis Extension.

Pro/ENGINEER Manikin Analysis Extension is an easy-to-use, powerful add-on module that enables you to test your designs against a number of quantitative human factors, and workplace standards and guidelines early in the product development process.

Benefits

• Simulate, communicate and optimize manual handling tasks such as lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling and carrying
• Analyze designs faster with simplified workflows and saved analysis settings
• Reduce time and save costs by decreasing the number of physical prototypes
• Leverage advanced reporting capabilities and comfort scores to deliver products designed and optimized for humans
• Ensure conformance with health and safety guidelines and ergonomic standards
