Pick object(s)

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

This task combines several subordinate tasks for the simulation of a picking-up of an object or several objects (including reaching out, grasping and establishing the connection).

 

Notes:

The object must be within reach envelop of the selected human model.

 

Subordinate tasks:

Move hand(s) to target, Grasp, Create object link, (Walk)

 

Parameter

Type

Mand.

Meaning

List of objects for left/right hand

Object

yes

Parameter defining the object(s) to be picked up using the corresponding hand.

Automatic walking

Checkbox

yes

A decision parameter determining whether the human model will walk automatically to the indicated target point / target object.

Target (grabpoint) for left/right hand

Position & orientation

no

Coordinate parameters allowing an optional definition of grasping points to be used during the pick-up.

Movement type

Selection

yes

A selection parameter defining a motion direction on the hand to the target.

Lift object(s)

Floating-point number

(0.0 to 1000.0)

no

A value parameter which defines how much the object need to be lifted after picking it.

Body movement type

Selection

no

A selection parameter used to select the upper body posture while picking-up the object.

Lock leg movement

Checkbox

no

A decision parameter determining whether the human model is allowed to squat or not during the task execution.

Carry posture (both handed)

Selection

no

A selection parameter defining the relative height of the hand(s) in relation to the body.

Posture left/right arm / hand

Selection

no

A selection parameter defining different hand and arm position for the current task and the subsequent tasks. For a detailed description, see chapter Performance library under Hand / arm position left / right)

 

iAt least one object must be selected for one hand.

iIn the event that objects are selected both for the left and the right hand, the human model tries to pick it up bi-manually.

iForces inserted into the process description are only relevant for the results if a carry posture was selected.
