Release of SEMCAD Poser

SEMCAD X Poser Package has been developed to allow deformation of all the supported human/animal model. It is now possible to deform the underlying rigid skeleton by specifying the required orientation at the articulated joints. Various models are available from SPEAG which have been prepared for positioning. It is also possible to add posing abilities to own models. Novel techniques allow deformations to be smoothly visualized in real time. Rapid switching between pre-saved (and user-defined) postures can be performed.

The implemented poser is based on techniques developed for animation pictures features. It offers the following benefits:

• easy articulation of joints in their physiological ranges
• deformation of the soft tissue without loss of connectivity and without changes in the total tissue volume
• predefined postures for standing, sitting and lying persons

This poser combined with the most detailed human models is highly valuable when performing exposure evaluations in real situations, such as work places, and device optimization, e.g., hand-held devices, body-mounted or implantable devices, to a new level of sophistication.
