Download HIGH-LEVEL LANGUAGE DESIGN

Abstract
The growing implementation of ergonomics in the automotive sector sets high
demands on Digital Human Modelling (DHM) functionalities towards the
simulation of more realistic environments and the reduction of physical model
dependency. During the current degree project a leading element that smartly
assembles DHM usage (implementation of high-level commanding languages)
was designed, revolving around the industries’ needs which were gathered and
interpreted in order to organize current functions in this language and suggest
new complementary functions that would create a language environment
suitable for non-expert users. This was achieved by focusing in an intuitive
word-function structure, the proposal of defaults and other tools that aid users
with different kinds of expertise. The need for realism of simulations was
assessed by the language design especially by designing means to coordinate
synchronic manikin-actions.
