摘要
Simulation is an important component in the process of designing engineered products. Having a tool like H.I.M. at one's disposal enhances the design process. It simulates the product design in manufacturing and industrial usages from ideation to training of the user. The dimensions and physical footprint of the designs can be reviewed without resorting to expensive prototypes. The engineer can map out the best way to assemble, disassemble and maintain the machine before production even starts. During the iterative design process, H.I.M. can be used to validate the ergonomics of the design by using an interactive virtual human/avatar. In addition, the design's performance in the industrial environment can be simulated to ensure it meets physical, mechanical and thermodynamic parameters. When the design is finalized, it is released into production.
