Simulate the human metabolism while sleeping, resting, working, or exercising
ManikinPC (Manikin Physiology Control and Predictive Comfort) software is a closed-loop feedback control package that accurately mimics the human thermoregulatory system and provides metrics for comfort and sensation. The software permits variable activity levels that simulates the human metabolism while sleeping, resting, working, or exercising. Any level of activity can be input and appropriate metabolic wattages will be imposed onto the manikin.
Highlights
- Based on TAITherm Human Thermal Model (HTM) by Thermoanalytics Inc.
- Predicts local and whole body sensation and comfort, using Berkeley comfort model
- Reduces dependence on human testing, improves reproducibility
- Software module integrated directly to ThermDAC
