To successfully compete on the market, the shipbuilding industry has to provide good quality of the products. Another aspect is[ds_preview] also a good ergonomic handling of the ship. Virtual human models are used to ensure this already in the early design phase. The handling of these models is not intuitive and even simple analyses can become time consuming.
