MoCap data

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

This task takes a bvh motion data file and a mapping file and applies it on the digital human model.

 

iExamples of bodypart mapping tables can be found in the installation folder under C:\Program Files\ema Software Suite\emaWorkDesigner\Manual\MoCap.

 

Subordinate tasks:

none, because its an elementary task

 

Parameter

Type

Mand.

Meaning

Motion data file

File

yes

A file parameter for specifying the location and the name of the bvh file.

Body part mapping table

File

yes

A file parameter for specifying the location and the name of the mapping file.

Start point [s]

Floating-point number

(0.0 to 5.000.0)

no

A value parameter defining from which point of time (in the motion data file) the data should be used.

End point [s]

Floating-point number

(0.0 to 5.000.0)

no

A value parameter defining until which point of time (in the motion data file) the data should be used. If value is set to "0" complete defined motion in the file will be used.

Maximum MoCap sample rate [fps]

Floating-point number

(0.0 to 1.000.0)

no

A value parameter which defines the amount of frames per second which should be used from motion file. If value is set to "0" every single frame will be read from motion file.

Use current position of manikin

Checkbox

no

A decision parameter specifying whether the current location of manikin should be used as a starting point for the motion data or the global locations from the motion file should be used.

Gravity active

Checkbox

no

A decision parameter to specify whether the manikin should be positioned on the existing floor object or the global height information from bvh file should be used.

Pre defined posture

Selection

no

A selection parameter with which a predefined basic pose can be defined.

Task type

Selection

no

A selection parameter which is used for documentation purposes for the further processing of the data in the results and there provides extended evaluation functionalities.

Object handling

Selection

no

A selection parameter with which the way an object is handled can be defined.

Object coupling type

Selection

no

A selection parameter with which a poor, fair, or good object coupling can be defined according to the object's properties.

Pushing / pulling type

Selection

no

A selection parameter with a list of varied predefined pushing/pulling types (according to EAWS).

Floor conditions

Selection

no

A selection parameter that is used for evaluation and documentation purposes and contains a list of predefined types of floor conditions.

Object mass [kg]

Floating-point number

(0.0 to 1.000.0)

no

A value parameter that defines the weight of an object.

Finger force [N]

Floating-point number

(0.0 to 500.0)

no

A value parameter that defines how much finger force need to be exerted in Newton.

Arm/body force [N]

Floating-point number

(0.0 to 500.0)

no

A value parameter that defines how much arm/body force need to be exerted in Newton.

Foot/leg force [N]

Floating-point number

(0.0 to 500.0)

no

A value parameter that defines how much foot/leg force need to be exerted in Newton.

Vibration / impulse

Selection

no

A selection parameter used to define the vibrational force the hand will experience.

Local force direction left / right hand

Selection

no

A decision parameter used for evaluation and documentation purposes.

Backrest available

Checkbox

no

A decision parameter determining whether a backrest is available or not. This parameter is only relevant for ergonomics or evaluation and documentation purposes and does not have any impact on the motion performed.

Headrest available

Checkbox

no

A decision parameter determining whether a support for the head is available in the seat or not. This parameter is only relevant for ergonomics or evaluation and documentation purposes and does not have any impact on the motion performed.

Leg support available

Checkbox

no

A decision parameter determining whether a leg rest is available in the seat or not. This parameter is only relevant for ergonomics or evaluation and documentation purposes and does not have any impact on the motion performed.

Arm support available

Checkbox

no

A decision parameter determining whether an arm rest is available or not. This parameter is only relevant for ergonomics or evaluation and documentation purposes and does not have any impact on the motion performed.

Object provisioning left / right

Selection

no

A decision parameter used for evaluation and documentation purposes.

Positioning accuracy left / right

Selection

no

A decision parameter used for evaluation and documentation purposes.

Installation position (insert / join)

Selection

no

A decision parameter used for evaluation and documentation purposes.

Handling type

Selection

no

A decision parameter used for evaluation and documentation purposes.

Pick type / grasping movement left / right

Selection

no

A decision parameter used for evaluation and documentation purposes.
