A method and apparatus for performing discrete simulation of ergonomic movements that includes a microprocessor to transform a manually performed process into a time-based listing of events, simulate the process and tabulate the results. In addition to a tabular output of the simulation results, the present system provides a graphical representation of a subject performing the simulated tasks together with color-coded depictions illustrating awkward and overly-demanding body movements. Furthermore, an event detector is provided to detect invalid events that may be simulated during verification of the design. The entire process is performed in a manner that minimizes data transfer time between the simulated and graphical portions thereby ensuring that a high level of synchronization is maintained between the simulation of the process and creation of the graphical representation. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In the following detailed description of an embodiment, consistent with the invention, reference is made to the accompanying drawings that form a part thereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration a specific embodiment in which the invention may be practiced.
This embodiment is described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention and it is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and that structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limited sense.
Embodiments consistent with the invention, as described herein, are implemented as logical operations in a computing system.
The logical operations are implemented: (1) as a sequence of computer implemented steps running on the computing system and (2) as interconnected machine modules within the computing system.
The implementation is a matter of choice dependent on the performance requirements of the computing system implementing the invention.
Accordingly, the logical operations making up the embodiments described herein are referred to variously as operations, steps, or modules.
The operating environment in which the present invention is used encompasses general distributed computing systems wherein general purpose computers, work stations, or personal computers are connected via communication links of various types.
In a client server arrangement, programs and data, many in the form of objects, are made available by various members of the system.
The operating environment may alternatively represent a single desktop computer comprised of a plurality of internal microprocessors.
Referring now to the drawings, in which like numerals represent like elements throughout the several figures, the present invention will be described.
FIG.
1 shows a simulation system 5 comprised of a plurality of interconnected computers and microprocessors hosting a plurality of operating systems
