By means of this task, the human model “slides” to a user-defined target place. The task works both during sitting and kneeling (one side and both sides).

Subordinate tasks:

none, because elementary task

Parameter	Type	Mand.	Meaning
Target location	Position & orientation	yes	A coordinate parameter defining the target point and the viewing direction of the human model at the target place.
Gravity active	Checkbox	no	A decision parameter determining whether the sliding towards the target will be carried out linearly without gravity (standard). This only has an impact if the target for the hip is above or below the hip height, i.e. if the human model shall slide upwards or downwards. If the gravity is activated, the human model is dragged onto the next subjacent floor object in each posture.
Advanced collisions avoidance	Checkbox	no	A decision parameter which enables the head and feet to avoid collisions. When extended collision avoidance is activated, upper body and leg movements attempt to avoid collision objects. Recommended setting for ergonomic assembly seats.
Activate pathfinding	Checkbox	no	A collision free sliding path (respecting a dynamic target) will be calculated.
Movement on assembly chair	Checkbox	no	A decision parameter which defines whether the MTM-UAS time analysis considers the distance moved by sliding or the number of leg movements (default - checkbox deactivated). The time analysis of the task Slide to target is not defined in MTM-UAS. The assessment follows the rules of body motions.
Lock leg movement	Checkbox	no	A decision parameter which defines whether sliding to target should be performed with or without leg movement. For example, the movements of the operator inside the car in the assembly support seat can be simulated by deactivating the leg movement. This parameter will be overridden if collision prevention is activated.
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.
