Dummy Position

Purpose:

This interface is used for dummy positioning. Dummy positioning requires an FE model of the dummy and a corresponding tree file that defines the dummy structure (which finite element parts make up each limb and how each limb is connected to adjacent parts).

Dummies can be stored in a database for shared usage. The location of the database is defined in the .lspostrc file as shown below:

 

Function:

Position : Position dummy.

Import : Import a dummy from dummy database.

Sample:

no sample.
