Manikin Reaching to Planar References

The Manikin Reach tool has been enhanced to allow for the orientation of the reaching manikin segment. Now, you can align an anatomical plane on the manikin segment with a planar entity in the scene.


Two optional orientation constraints are available, visible under the Reach constraint in the Manikin Tree. These constraints help define and limit the segment’s orientation, preventing the solver from unintentionally reorienting the segment during reaching.

Creo Parametric 10.0.0.0

User Interface Location: Click Manikin >  Reach to open the Manikin Reach dialog box.

Key Benefits:

  • By adding orientation constraints, you can control the orientation of the selected manikin segment.
  • Prevent unwanted reorientation of the manikin segment by the solver, providing more accurate and precise positioning.

Additional Details:

  • Limitations: None reported.
  • Replaces Existing Functionality? No, this feature enhances the existing capabilities.
  • Configuration Option: None.

This new feature offers greater control over manikin segment orientation, ensuring more precise simulations and adjustments.
