Abstract

There are many different types of equipments, complex pipeline and cable in the ship. So the overall space resource is poor. The crew is easy to encounter accessibility and ergonomics obstacles, when he is engaged in maintaining equipments in the limited space. The paper gives out an operation simulation and evaluation method in limited space base on Siemens Jack secondary development. Firstly the virtual human arm reachable domain and view frustum are proposed respectively to inspect the encounter accessibility and ergonomics obstacles by using the envelope generation method based on point-by-point scanning algorithm. Then the Task Analysis Toolkit (TAT for short) indicator weights based on the therbligs are confirmed by expert investigation. The calculation formula and rating rule of each TAT indicator are developed. Finally the ergonomics comprehensive quantitative is put forward by dimensionless dimension method. Aiming at the twin oil filters replacement and maintenance task in gear box module, the maintenance crew labour intensity and human injury risk are reduced by 46%, through using the simulation and evaluation method in this paper to optimize design scheme. So the method provides an effective solution for the crew operation simulation evaluation aiming at space interference and human injury risk. It has important significance in comprehensive optimization between crew operation, equipments layout and cabin space in ship design phase.
