Step 1: Manikin Hand Grasp position
CATIA V5 offers a helpful feature for simulating how a human hand would grasp an object using a digital manikin. Here's how to position the manikin's hand grasp:
1. Accessing the Hand Grasp Feature:
Locate the Manikin tab within your CATIA V5 interface.
There should be an icon for hand grasp functionality. It might be labeled generically or with specific grasp types like "spherical" or "cylindrical."
2. Selecting Hand and Object:
Once you've chosen the hand grasp icon, you'll need to select the hand segment of the manikin you want to use.
Next, pick the object the hand will grasp in your CATIA V5 environment.
3. Executing the Grasp:
With both the hand and object chosen, confirm the action by clicking on an "Execute Grasp" button or similar option.
4. Choosing the Grasp Type (Optional):
CATIA V5 might provide different pre-defined grasp postures. These could include spherical grasp (for full-hand envelopment), cylindrical grasp (for gripping cylindrical objects), and pinch grasp (for precise manipulation).
Experiment with various grasp types to find the one that best suits your object and desired interaction.
