Please note that this is a direct implementation of existing work by the researchers listed above at the request of one of our clients. Once implemented, we had hoped there would be a means of gleaning the inputs directly from the digital human model, but this did not turn out to be the case. It remains within the Santos Pro capabilities as a stand-alone calculator whose implementation was validated by Sandalwood Engineering & Ergonomics in 2009.
