This model was developed as a demonstration of the AnyBody
system for use in ergonomic design of driver spaces in cars. It is a
preliminary un-validated, un-calibrated model for demonstration purposes
only. When equipped with a better shoulder, it should capture the working
conditions of a car driver well, though.
The model is special in the sense that it comprises more than 100
muscles. It still analyses and animates quickly on a small PC.

When analyzing the model for muscle work in a natural working position
as the one shown above, we see that the amount of antagonistic muscle work
(negative powers on the curve) is relatively limited |
 |
|
If we move the steering wheel backward, closer to the driver
to the extent that the driving position become awkward, then the amount of
negative muscle work increases as shown on the figure below. |
