Abstract
This paper represents current and probable applications of Digital Human Modeling (DHM) in different industries. Three real-world challenges, Cummins Inc. (New Product Launches), NASA (Ground Operations), Purdue University (DHM in Curriculum), are investigated for current/probable benefits of DHM. Direct contacts with company representatives and academic faculty were established to understand the current challenges and probable demands of tasks/operations in industry where DHM tools can be utilized. Dassault Systemes’ CATIA V5 PLM solution package and UGS Tecnomatix JACK DHM software was utilized to offer a resolution for industrial (Cummins Inc. and NASA) challenges and a software manual (JACK) is developed to enhance the engineering curriculum at Purdue University. The results indicated that DHM tools have potential to improve the product development challenges and provides control of the entire process of designing and analyzing a product before it’s ever launched. DHM in engineering curriculum would also increase the integration/adaptation of DHM tools in industry.
