Popis: Virtual simulations of operating tasks provide knowledge on a variety of parameters, useful for preventive ergonomic analysis, that helps to improve safety, quality and promote human-centered design. This paper presents the development of a biophysics-based simulation tool that is used for the evaluation of virtual interactions in different synthetic 3D scenes. Evaluation is based on the simulation of the motion of a digital human skeletal model interacting with virtual 3D objects, followed by inverse dynamics simulation of multi-body systems. This tool can be used for the estimation of body joints loads and energy expenditure during tasks’ operation in different environments, thereby allowing to detect potential risks in repetitive movement patterns and to adjust accordingly the object’s arrangement. Comparative results of spatiotemporal energy distribution support the validity of the simulation framework.
