The McDonnell Douglas Human Modeling System (MDHMS)
Long Beach Division
The McDonnell Douglas Human Modeling System (MDHMS) enables electronic simulation/demonstration of assembly, operations and maintenance early in the design process using 3D animated human manikins. MDHMS is a menu-driven, interactive computer program used to define design requirements and aid in design evaluation. Major benefits of using MDHMS include:
- Reducing the need for physical development fixtures by performing evaluations electronically.
- Reducing design costs enabling the design team to more rapidly prototype and test a design.
- Avoiding costly design "fixes" later in the program by considering human factors requirements early in the design.
- Improving customer communications at every step of product development by using compelling animated graphics.
