lacks the expected responses. This increases the risk of not knowing what research is
needed and losing opportunities for appropriate funding and future investments. Very

2.3 GENERIC DHM WORKFLOW
2.3.1 lOaD 3D enVirOnMent Data

to evaluate ergonomic stresses in 3D. In order to do so, the parts that the manikin
representing a worker, an operator or a user will be interacting with must be ...
