Particularly in the automobile industry digital 3D human models are becoming more important for early ergonomic testing of manual assembly operations. However, increased user inputs are associated with handling 3D human models and also with interactions at the assembly simulation software interface.
This paper first examines this type of human-computer system with information from expert and potential users of this sort of simulation software. Then using a typical assembly inspection, the necessary steps to virtually examine manual assembly operations using 3D human models are described. This way, the human-computer system will be assessed in terms of the human-computer interaction problems described. In order to overcome the identified weaknesses, possible optimisations are presented. These are then ranked according to relevance for putting them into practice afterwards.
