Title: 3D computer modeling of sitting working place. Author: Mijović B, Ujević D, Skoko M, Baksa S. Journal: Coll Antropol; 2002 Dec; 26 Suppl():189-203. PubMed ID: 12674854. Abstract: Ergonomic contribution to designing and modeling of sitting working place by use of a computer and computer programs have been presented in this work. The influences of modeling working places on regular posture of a man/woman during work have been reconsidered, so that consumption of energy and fatigue are brought down to a minimum. For that purpose a computer program has been made which with input data on various kinds of work, sex and height of a worker determines the optimal ergonomic parameters during the modeling of a sitting working place. By computer visualisation the values of angle of spine curving have been calculated, the manipulation angle of arms and legs for three anthropometric heights of workers (160 cm, 175 cm and 190 cm). The dimensions of manipulative body space have been established by computerised 3D anthropometric analysis of movement as for example, reach of arms, legs, head, back etc positions. In this process the dimensions of machine and working space surrounding it in respect to optimal utilisation have been put in accordance with the anthropometric size of a man/woman.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
