Introduction

Human body model trees are now available in Oasys PRIMER for the industry-leading GHBMC and THUMS models.

These model trees allow users to achieve realistic articulation and positioning of complex Human Body Models (HBMs) to prepare them for simulation-based model positioning analysis in LS-DYNA.

Why choose Oasys model trees?

Our model trees:

• enable easy, interactive positioning of highly complex Human Body Models
• include realistic biofidelic joint detailing for example, bending and straightening of the spine, and realistic shoulder/clavicle movement
• include realistic stop angles to ensure appropriate relative movement between the various parts of the model
• include an Oasys PRIMER properties file which can be used to change the visual attributes of the Human Body Model making it easier to see the relevant parts of the model when positioning
• come with a Positioning Guide which details the process of setting up pre-simulation positioning analyses using Oasys PRIMER
• are available for various GHBMC and THUMS human body models (occupant and pedestrian)
• are continuously developed for more versions of these models

How to obtain the model trees

The HBM trees are free of charge for Oasys PRIMER customers.
