Abstract

RAMSIS is a highly realistic and time-efficient software tool that is designed to support manufacturers in improving customer satisfaction by finding design flaws and hence, improving the well-being of the customer. In this paper, the need for continuous redesigning of the passenger cabin in automobiles is discussed. A new design of a car is tested by seating a manikin inside and simulating its optimal posture for the given constraints of the car and manikin. The applied method is a digital simulation of the human interacting with the passenger cabin interior. The demonstration was performed on RAMSIS a CAD-based simulation tool. In this work, Furthermore, this study explores multiple discussion points such as the benefits and future applications of the software, results of the simulation, and how obstacles or limitations could be resolved. In this project, the following analyses are conducted: discomfort analysis, reach analysis, max-size backseat-passenger calculation, obstructive vision, and reflective vision. One main result is the incompleteness of the car design in terms of ergonomic design. Additionally, many of the conducted analyses showed significant ergonomic design faults for the current design. Lastly, future work extending the RAMSIS analysis is explored.
