Abstract

The demographic development in many industrialised societies and markets with a growing power of
the customers augments the importance of user-centred design approaches. In this regard it is crucial
for design engineers to understand how the use of a product is affecting the prospective user physically
and emotionally. In this contribution an attempt is made to quantify physical
effects on the human body during the interaction with technical systems. We present an approach to
visualise biomechanical stress quantities obtained from simulations with musculoskeletal human
models within CAD engineering environments. The objective is to enable
designers to intuitively estimate how their solutions will influence the physical state of the user. The
topic is relevant for the design of technical artefacts that are characterised by a close interaction with
people. This comprises ergonomic questions in product design but also the
planning of manufacturing processes as well as the development of medical devices for training and rehabilitation
