Anticipate design issues via a flexible digital human model. It’s that simple.
Santos® is a virtual human model. Its capabilities are available as software products and services that leverage the only way to predict human performance while engaged in various processes, thus helping manufacturers design more effective products and systems. Realistic and responsive, Santos can answer questions and solve problems in a virtual environment where changes can be tested quickly and cost effectively.
Our advanced technologies predict task-based human-centric requirements for use of equipment. Because we can predict this, we can provide trade-off analysis that not only identifies potential or existing issues but also provides options on mitigating those issues in existing designs or avoiding them completely at the earliest stages of design. This benefits the bottom line for many companies in nearly every industry, including:
Why SantosHuman?
The Santos® predictive human models are the only optimization-based and physics-based human models capable of predicting human performance without prerecorded data, while at the same time considering strength, fatigue, range of motion, external forces and grasp requirements, as well as obstacle, self and vision occlusion avoidance.
In addition, the Santos predictive models are the only ones based on the physics of human performance. They are based on underlying mathematical models rather than approximations of prerecorded data. They respond to physics-based cause and effect. In other words, when conditions change, our models update automatically and provide the ability for a virtual human character to react both visually and quantitatively.
