Human Products

 

This page deals with the following products:


Human Builder (HBR, MHB) - P2

General Issues

Reports in CATIA
  • Cannot generate any human report (txt, html,xml...) on a CATIA install. A file is missing from the CATIA install. This is due to a faulty packaging, which cannot be fixed on a SP. Packaging is done once and for all for a given release. 
  • Reports can be generated on the CATIA install if a replacement file is renamed.
  • Steps to rename the file:
    • Find replacement file xmltools_hum.jar in: [intel_a|aix_a|etc...]\docs\javaserver\.
    • Rename xmltools_hum.jar to xmltools.jar.
Drafting
  •  If the manikin CATProduct is closed, the Drafting linked to it will not update the manikin view.

Open Issues

Reports
  • On Catia installation, there is a Java error when trying to generate a report.
Balance
  • The support polygon is not always visible.  For example when we zoom in or when the manikin stands on a floor.
Swept Volume
  • The swept volume generated when editing the manikin posture using the Standard pose Sit tab is no correct.
UNDO
  • Undo command does not have the appropriate behavior if applied after manipulating with FK a manikin segment that has an attached part.
Simulation
  • During simulation creation, position applied from a catalog is only applied on the manikin and not on the shuttle.
Display
  • If we flex manikin leg using the IK mode, user will see a gap between the leg and the thigh segment.

Documentation

Edit the Vision Parameters
The online documentation contains an image that shows an incorrect context menu.  The corrected documentation is available here.
General, Tools Options
The online documentation did not note that catalog instances are not overloaded when you select the Save the manikin attributes on a instance check box. The corrected documentation is available here.
Inconsistencies
In several of the documentation pages, there were inconsistencies between the user interface and the documentation. The list of changed documentation (including hyperlinks) follows:

Documentation

Creating a Human Activity Group
The documentation contains an erroneous image of a dialog box and does not point out clearly that users should consult Activating a Task for information on how to set a Human Activity Group as the active task. The corrected documentation is here.

Human Task Simulation (MHT) - P2

 

General Issues

Operate walking with pelvis bent
 
  • We do not support Operate walking whit pelvis bent. If the manikin's pelvis is bent, it is automatically straighten when creating the Operate walking activity. Therefore in simulation the manikin walks straight without any bent of the pelvis. Permanent restriction.
Operate walking orientation
  • For operate walking activities,  the manikin's orientation has to be sets in order for the manikin to face the desired walking orientation before creating the operate activity. Permanent restriction.
Operate simulation time
  •  The user should expect different simulation time for human simulation involving operate.  These small differences are due to the use of a numerical solver that not always generates the exactly same solution to resolve the Operate. Permanent restriction.

Open Issues

Grab
  • Grabbed part do not follow the manikin displacement when creating MTPs or AutoWalk.  The part is diplayed at good location when applying Synchronize 3D model command.
Annotated views
  • During simulation, a zero percent opaque manikin reappears when the Annotated view function is executed.
Save in Hub
  • Two instances of Human gets created in a project after saving to the hub.
Operate
  • Cannot copy Move to posture in Reverse Operate.
Copy/Paste
  • Cannot paste a Human Activity Group (HAG) after another HAG : paste is not allowed.
Saving a Walk activity to Manufacturing Hub
  • Creating a Walk activity with a manikin (created in V5R19SP4 & pointed by DPE) and saving/loading the project in V5 will result in two instances of the manikin product. This issue is only when a manikin created in V5R19SP4 is used. If a manikin created in any previous release (for example V5R18SPn), this issue is not encountered.
Energy Expenditure
  • Energy expenditure calculation is not exported on Japanese OS
Reassign activity
  • Impossible to do a reassign operation if the process has a Move Activity

Documentation

Swept Volume
  • The Swept Volume command for the manikin will be available if the user also has a DMU Space Analysis or DMU Optimizer license.
Energy expenditure
  •  The Energy expenditure command for the manikin will be available in Human Task Simulation workbench only if the user also has a Human Activity Analysis license.
Collision attributes in Walk dialog
  • Replaced the Walk dialog box with the correct one which shows the collision attributes. Also added an explanation of collision free walk.
Edit the operate device activity
  • Updated as: When Operate Activity is double-clicked, the edit synchronizes the 3D world to the start of operate activity.
Walk and MoveToPosture Activity dialog
Customizing section
Reassigning Human Operations Updated see: Reassigning Human Operations pdf
Simulation Toolbar
Reassigning Human Operations
  • In User Tasks> About Human Tasks> Reassigning Human Operations, Added the following point in Step 7:
    • If the Reassigned Operation has Human Task/Human Activity Group that is not set as Active, these tasks will not be cut/pasted onto the target operation. However, these tasks will not be deleted and will be available under the Human Task list of the manikin resource.
