  • Invitation to Attend: Musculoskeletal Modeling and SimulationWorkshop

    ***Free One-and-a-Half Day Musculoskeletal Modeling and Simulation
    Workshop***
    Hosted by: Ozen Engineering
    Location: 132 Fluor Daniel / EIB, Clemson University
    Time: February 17, 2009, 9:00am- 4:30pm and February 18, 9:00am- 12:00pm

    Instructor:
    Dr. David Wagner

    Day One: Tuesday, February 17, 9:00am - 12:00noon and 1:30pm – 4:30pm
    "Introduction to Musculoskeletal Modeling"
    During the first day, participants will be introduced to whole-body
    musculoskeletal modeling and simulation. Available software tools and
    techniques will also be introduced. A general overview of the types
    of problems musculoskeletal simulation has been successful at
    resolving will be presented. Topics related to computational
    biomechanics, pro-active ergonomics, and the integration of
    musculoskeletal simulation with current CAE tools will be addressed.
    Finally, the future directions of musculoskeletal modeling will be
    considered.

    Day Two: Wednesday, February 18, 9:00am - 12:00noon
    "Theory to Practice, Solving Applied Problems"
    On the second day, case studies utilizing whole-body musculoskeletal
    simulation will be discussed. Simulation results for each case study
    will be reviewed in detail. Modeling assumptions and limitations will
    also be considered. A list of the case studies to be presented are:

    - Optimization techniques and tools (an introduction to
    ModeFrontier). Applications relating to biomedical devices and the
    automotive industry
    Presented by: Alberto Bassanese, 9-10am
    - Identifying the effect of changes in bike-fit to muscle
    activation
    - Static versus Dynamic analysis of a manual material handling
    task
    - Simulation of internal femur stresses for real-life tasks =>
    Coupling the AnyBody Musculoskeletal System with the ANSYS finite
    element suite
    - Assessment of seating comfort based on muscle activity
    - Optimal overhead handle placement for driver ingress/egress
    - Assessment of required shoulder forces during operation of
    new wheel chair design
