Method of anthropometric product design and media that can record computer program for method the same

Abstract

Provided are an anthropometric product design method and a recording media storing a computer program for the same. The anthropometric product design method includes the operations of: (a) expressing the relationships between human body variables and design variables in equations, and establishing design equations for design variables, respectively, of a product to be designed; (b) generating a representative human model (RHM) for the product to be designed; (c) extrapolating postures according to changes in design dimensions through a computer simulation using the design equations and RHMs, and comparing data on the extrapolated postures with defined reference posture data to perform a design sensitivity analysis; and (d) determining optimal design dimensions for related design variables based on the design sensitivity analysis. Accordingly, because various human body dimensions and product use postures of users can be reflected in product designs through computer simulation, products that are better customized for users can be designed, and products can be designed that are optimized through design sensitivity analyses of posture loss scores according to changes in design dimensions.
