Abstract

This paper carries out a comparison of three Digital Human Modelling (DHM) software. They are compared to each other in the field of ergonomics with a larger focus on their ergonomic risk assessment capabilities. They were selected from a pool of ergonomic software. The selection was restricted to those programs which gave enough information to overview features and capabilities without purchasing the given software. The software included here are namely: Jack, Santos and ViveLab. Jack is a software by Siemens, Santos belongs to SantosHuman Inc. and ViveLab is newly developed Hungarian software by ViveLab Ergo Ltd. These software companies provide free material for their software overview and online tutorials free of charge to make the acquiring process easier for their customers.
