SWKAnthro (Object)

This interface manages the anthropometry of the manikin.
It provides access to the anthropometry data (variables, sex...)

Property Index

ConstructionType
Return or sets the construction type of the manikin.
Gender
Returns or sets the gender of the manikin.
InterpolationMethod
Returns or sets the interpolation.
LimitBound
Returns or sets the population accommodation, in terms of a limit bound.
NumberOfVariables
Returns the number of variables contained in this anthropometry.
Population
Return or sets the Population of the manikin.
PopulationAccommodation
Returns or sets the population accommodation.

Method Index

GetVariableAtIndex
Returns the variable at the specified index.
GetVariableFromUsNumber
Returns the variable from a specified us number.
Reset
Reset the anthtropometry.

Properties


o Property ConstructionType() As
Return or sets the construction type of the manikin. This property can take the following two values: "Standing" and "Sitting".
If the construction is set to "Standing",
then the manikin is constructed as of type 'standing'.
If the construction is set to "Sitting",
then the manikin is constructed as of type 'sitting'.

The chosen construction type influences the way the manikin's hips,
thighs and knees are constructed to reflect the changes in those body
parts when a human changes from a standing to a sitting posture.
o Property Gender() As
Returns or sets the gender of the manikin.
o Property InterpolationMethod() As
Returns or sets the interpolation. The interpolation is an algorithm
that restricts the values entered by the user to a certain minimum and maximum value. Valid values are "None" or "Multinormal".
o Property LimitBound() As
Returns or sets the population accommodation, in terms of a limit bound.
The population accommodation is used in the multi-normal
algorithm, to calculate the limits of the automatic variables
when a user-defined anthropometry is entered.
The greater the population accommodation is, the wider the limits
on the automatic variables will be. The value of this property must le within the range [0.0, 4.0].
o Property NumberOfVariables() As (Read Only)
Returns the number of variables contained in this anthropometry.
o Property Population() As
Return or sets the Population of the manikin. The population provided must be one of the default populations ("American", "Canadian", "French", "Japanese", "Korean", "German" or "Chinese (Taiwan)"), or an external population defined by the user. Please note that no user-defined population should bear the name of one of the default populations.
o Property PopulationAccommodation() As
Returns or sets the population accommodation. The population accommodation is used in the multi-normal
algorithm, to calculate the limits of the automatic variables
when a user-defined anthropometry is entered.
The greater the population accommodation is, the wider the limits
on the automatic variables will be. The value of this property must le within the range [0.0, 100.0].

Methods


o Func GetVariableAtIndex( piIndex) As
Returns the variable at the specified index.
Parameters:
piIndex
The index of the variable to retrieve.
o Func GetVariableFromUsNumber( piRefNumber) As
Returns the variable from a specified us number.
Parameters:
piRefNumber
The reference number of the variable to retrieve (ex.: 3 for us3, 100 for us100, etc).
o Sub Reset()
Reset the anthtropometry. This method resets each variable back to the automatic mode, and then updates the anthropometry.
