The Virtual Prototyping Design and Evaluation of Ergonomic Gymnastic Based on CATIA

Abstract

Simulate the computer-aided design of gymnastic device in the pre-development stage by applying CATIA V6 software, and explore the matching degree between gymnastic device design and human body database using the theory and data of Ergonomics. Build the improved model of gymnastic device based on CATIA V6 virtual human data and explore the best evaluation method of man-machine simulation for gymnastic device design after the analysis of man-machine operational processes for computer-aided gymnastic product design and the experiment of human data measurement specimens. The experiment of arm strength gymnastic device for shoulder shows that the application of CATIA V6 software platform not only further shortens the product development cycle and improves the degree of match between gymnastic device and human body, but also enhance the true integration of gymnastic device development and design system from 3D, design and simulation to manufacture. 2013 SERSC.
