General
- Name
- This shows the Name of the manikin that is going to be created.
- Model
- In this field, choose the model-type desired: whole body, right forearm, or left forearm.
- Referential
- In this field, choose the initial referential point of the new
manikin. The choices are: Eye point, H-Point (default), Left foot,
Right foot, H-point Projection, Between Feet, and Crotch.
The creation mode has two options:
Selecting the top product node, and end up with a new manikin as a child of this product. In the background, a new manikin reference is created and directly instantiated as a child of the selected product.
This allows you to select the product top node, and, if it has no child yet, transform it into a manikin reference.
Selected product
Since manikins are created inside file documents, you must select the selected product by clicking the desired document in the specification tree. The document's name is automatically placed in the read-only field. The selected product is the product that the manikin is attached to in the specification tree. It can be the root product or any other product under the root.
Please note that the selected product cannot be another manikin.
Anthropometry
- Population
- In this field, select the nationality of the manikin from the default set of populations: American, Canadian, French, Japanese, or Korean.
- Gender
- In this field, you must choose whether the manikin is a man or a woman.
- Percentile
You can choose the percentile (between 0.01 and 99.9) that the new manikin is built from.
The percentile is applied to the stature (height) as well as the weight of the new manikin. It indicates the group the manikin is within the ordered statistical population.
In other words, the stature and the weight of the new manikin are both set at the chosen percentile except the 50th percentile, where all the variables are then set at the 50th percentile. All other anthropometric variables are estimated according to the population chosen.
