Load Evaluation by Digital Man Models - A Radical New 3 D-Approach Realized by Ramsis

A radical new approach was realized to integrate load evaluation into digital man models. The idea is to envelop articular strength-vectors by spacial bodies suggesting potatoes. A total of 244 articular “Moment-Potatoes” was recorded at 34 body joints. “M-Potatoes” allow not only efficient “virtual load evaluation” but possibly provide also a base for autonomously moving manikins.
