Abstract

Today’s automotive engineering faces an ever-increasing product complexity but at the same time steadily decreasing time-to-market. To meet the comprehensive engineering requirements of the interior layout, ergonomics must be put into consideration from an early stage on. Besides modern virtual validation techniques, a physical seating buck is still vital for ergonomic investigations. The present publication introduces an approach to integrate a fully parametric electromechanical seating buck into vehicle development processes. A key element represents the software using a geometric constraint solver to map interior dimensions form a vehicle database on the seating buck.
