METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING MUSCULO-SKELETAL MODEL, METHOD OF ESTIMATING HUMAN BODY STRESS/DISTORTION, PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of easily improving analysis accuracy of a computer-based musculo-skeletal model in techniques of constructing the computer-based musculo-skeletal model physically representing bones and muscles of a human body.;SOLUTION: Relating to a selected joint, the pivot-axis-direction when a plurality of bones connected pivotally about the selected joint are pivoted relative to each other about the selected joint in response to expansion/contraction of the plurality of muscles acting on the selected joint is defined as a first pivot-axis-direction for each of the selected joints. The direction of an axis about which the plurality of bones are pivoted relative to each other around the selected joins when a motion is made to execute by a human body, is defined as a second pivot-axis-direction. Regarding the selected joints, a direction of the first pivot-axis-direction above is redefined, based on the relative angle in the second pivot-axis-direction defined as above.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
