DUMMIES: Positioning Occupants

DUMMIES Positioning Occupants

The Dummy/HBM positioning tool includes the following:

• Dummy definitions may be created and edited interactively.
  
  
• Positioning via a "free dragging" mode.
  
  
• "Points" may be added to dummy assemblies to give further restraint and positioning options.
  
  
• Dummies may be "child" definitions of general mechanisms and positioned in conjunction with those mechanisms.
  
  
• Dummy positions may be saved and restored, and also interchanged between models via an independent positions file.
  
  
• Dummies may be positioned from the command-line and thus also in batch mode.

• Any dummy can be converted to a mechanism using the =>Mech button.

• The internal structure of a HBM can be viewed with the Visualisation table button.
