Introduction to Human Solutions - Specialist Course

With a basic ability to work within the V5 software, this Specialist course in Human Solutions
will introduce you to the initial aspects of preparing a self-contained human simulation for an
Assembly project. The assumption is that the software is going to be used in a standalone
mode, not connected to the Manufacturing Hub, and not using other DELMIA Software such as
Process Engineer. Other courses will address the interface of the Hub and additional software
configurations.
The Human Solutions software provides an accurate simulation of humans and their work
environment to ensure natural operation tailored to the necessary tasks. The software consists
of a number of tools (such as Human Builder) that allow you to create, manipulate and analyze
how manikins interact with a product and environment.
The exercise for learning this simulated world is a 3.5 HP Engine. This project-centered
methodology allows you to create and apply a simulation project while learning the software.
However, in the interests of maintaining the project focus, not every feature and function
available in Human Solutions will be used or addressed. You should consult the online
documentation that comes with the software installation to learn more about other functionality.

Create Human Tasks

Start to generate the simulation

Example
Tool preparation (Process lib.)
Paul & Mary (are assigned)
Paul will do: Human task walk toward toolbox
Mary will do: Human task grab & push
toolbox

9. Save initial State

11. Run the simulation

Pauls activity:
Walk Forwards
Mary s activity:
Move to Posture: Raise hands,
Reach, grab
Pick
Walk Forwards
