Use of digital human modelling and consideration of anthropometric diversity in Swedish industry

• This  paper  study  and  clarify  problems,  needs  and  opportunities  when  working  with anthropometric  diversity  in  digital  human  modelling  (DHM)  systems.  A  comparison between  product  development  and  production  development  in  Swedish  automotive industry is made. Interviews with DHM users and ergonomics specialists about their way of working with anthropometric diversity confirmed that simulations are often done with only one or  a  few  human models.  The reason for  this  is  claimed  to  be  time  consuming processes, both at the creation of the human model but mainly when correctly positioning the model in the CAD environment.
