RAMSIS - 3D Ergonomics Simulation Tool
RAMSIS is the world-leading 3D-CAD-ergonomics simulation tool, designed to optimise the ergonomic development of products such as vehicles and cockpits.
It realistically simulates vehicle occupants and analyses the ergonomics of interiors and is currently being used by 70% of automobile manufacturers.
Ergonomics is increasingly seen as a quality factor by the customer and it is becoming a significant differentiation criteria. With RAMSIS, you can implement new concepts ergonomically and achieve a high level of product maturity as early as the CAD model stage.
What makes RAMSIS so special?
- Simulation of human beings
- Ergonomics simulation
- Scientifically validated data on body measurements and behaviour
- Market-leading functionality for ergonomics analysis
- Posture models and physiological joint simulation
Simulation of Human Beings
Realistic test collectives worldwide
Based on the world’s largest anthropometric database, RAMSIS enables you to generate any target group, to define size, gender, population and age-specific characteristics and model them in 3D.
Role-based posture calculation
The RAMSIS occupants can be given different roles, each of which knows its typical posture and movement models. RAMSIS automatically calculates these task and role-specific postures based on the vehicle interior. Thanks to state-of-the-art posture studies, the virtual test persons behave realistically when sitting, standing or performing tasks.
Integration of field studies and statistical data
RAMSIS can integrate the data of individual test persons or use it for defining the test persons pool. The software is also based on data from field studies on movement behaviour in vehicles, in interiors and on the operation of elements in the vehicle.
Animation, movement and the attachment of objects
Many animation and simulation functions are available in RAMSIS. Manikin movements can be recorded for simple simulation of processes. Objects (e.g. shoes or helmets) can be attached to occupants and included in the posture calculation and analysis. RAMSIS also has an integrated gender-dependent shoe library.
Ergonomic Simulation
Optimal reachability - All controls within reach for drive and passengers. | Direct and indirect vision - Instruments and streets in view - also with the help of mirrors. | Advanced visual analyses - visual acuity, time of gaze change or reflection. |
Room and space requirements - enough room for drivers, passengers or employees. | Enough Force - Maximum permissible actuating forces for operating elements. | Seats - optimum seat adjustment range and seat design for text collectives. |
Belt Design - Belt routing over vehicle occupants and dummies. | Ingress/egress analyses - Simulation of the motion sequence. | Virtual aging - Age-specific performances factors, e.g. strength and vision. |
Why you should partner with Dohrmann Consulting
Turn ergonomics into your competitive advantage.
Operability, comfort and safety are the key factors for the market success of products. Integrating ergonomics in product development from planning right through to production, places high demands on competence, processes and resources.
Dohrmann Consulting is Australia’s exclusive RAMSIS partner - we hold the license and expertise so you don’t have to invest in expensive license fees or commit to in-house resources.
Our consultant engineers have worked across many industries where they have applied RAMSIS analysis to optimise the ergonomics of product and workplace design.
