Task library > Body movements

In this task, the human model either walks to a defined target location or along a path defined by the user.

Subordinate tasks:

Move in direction, Straighten up, Move foot to target

Parameter	Type	Mand.	Meaning
Target location	Position & orientation	yes*	A coordinate parameter defining the target point and orientation of the human model at the target position.
Walk path	Path	yes*	A path parameter determining the walking trajectory of the human model.
Object to turn to	Object	yes*	An object towards which the human model will walk to.
Walk to start position	Checkbox	yes*	If this checkbox is activated, the human model walks back to its position at the beginning of the simulation.
Safety distance for walking [mm]	Floating point number	yes	The human model maintains at least the set distance to the target object (not for fixed target points such as markers) and to collision objects, even when walking around obstacles. The default value is 250 mm.
Reverse path	Checkbox	no	The human model walks along the path in the opposite direction.
Walk direction	Selection	no	A selection parameter determining the direction of walking. Forwards, backwards and sideways can be selected.
Jump to destination directly	Checkbox	no	The human model jumps to the destination without a walking motion.
Body movement type	Selection	no	A selection parameter used to select the upper body motion to be used.
Posture left/right hand / arm	Selection	no	A selection parameter defining different hand and arm positions for the current task and the subsequent tasks. For a detailed description, see chapter Performance library under Hand / arm position left / right).

i*All of the four parameters Target location, Walk path, Object to turn to or Walk to start position must not be defined, i.e. only one of those parameters (either target place, travel path, target object or start position) needs to be indicated. An error message is displayed in case of multiple parameter assignment.

iCollision objects are only taken into account if the target place and the target object are used, but not if the travel path is used.

iThe last path point defines the position and orientation of the human model at the target place.
