MANIKIN LITE

5. 5
What does Manikin Lite provide?
• Scalable, affordable, human modeling solution for the everyday designer
• User may load, place, edit placement and manipulate a Manikin in the scene
What are the limitations?
• One default Manikin model, limited tools for manipulation (2D drag and apply posture
only)
NOTE: Purchased Manikin Extension adds the capabilities to check reach envelopes, vision
cones, first person vision window & utilize an entire library of Manikins and Purchased Manikin
Analysis Extension adds multiple types of Ergonomics Analysis
NOTE: Support of this lite extension is available with Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 M060 and later
