CATIA V5 - Human Builder workbench introduction
Human Builder is a powerful tool for simulating human interactions with products in the virtual realm. It's based on a robust human modeling system that enables designers to conduct detailed human-centered design studies before a workplace or product even exists physically. Human Builder provides highly accurate simulations of human motions and interactions, ensuring that products are tailored to the needs and limitations of their intended users.

Step 1: Create and modify manikins
Step-by-step video presented within the video.
The Human Builder product specializes in creating and manipulating digital humans for preliminary human-product interaction analysis. It encompasses a suite of advanced tools for generating, manipulating, and analyzing how manikins representing various percentiles (5th, 50th, and 95th) interact with a product. These manikins can then be used to evaluate the suitability of a product in terms of form, fit, and function.
Human Builder's intuitive interface enables designers to easily create and manipulate manikins in conjunction with digital mockups, facilitating assessments of factors such as reach and vision. Its user-friendly design eliminates the need for specialized human factors expertise, making it accessible to a broader range of designers.
Human Builder's toolkit includes manikin generation tools, gender and percentile specifications, manipulation techniques for direct kinematics and inverse kinematics, animation generation capabilities, and monocular, binocular, and ambinocular vision simulation, including vision output cones. These comprehensive tools empower designers to conduct comprehensive human factors analysis early in the design process, ensuring that products are user-centric and optimized for human interaction.
