Abstract

Maintainability is one of the main targets of product development. Through simulating the actual maintenance process, maintainability problems can be identified by virtual reality technology. Most virtual reality softwares provide virtual human motion simulation functions, but the virtual human motion control methods of them are defective. In order to enhance virtual human motion control, maintenance task model was established in this paper, virtual human motion model was designed. Then a virtual human motion database based on Jack was developed by Tcl/Tk Python language, and it was applied to a real maintenance process. Furthermore, the maintenance process was simulated in Jack and the ergonomics of it were analyzed. The result showed that the motion database can be effectively applied to virtual maintenance simulation and make the maintenance process-related ergonomics analysis conveniently.
