Coordinate Systems

 

Figure 2 : Location of coordinate systems on the neck

Figure 2 shows the coordinate systems on the neck vertebrae. The following table shows the definition of the coordinate systems and the location.

Figure 3 shows the coordinate systems on the thoracic and lumbar spine. The coordinate systems are used to define the torsional beams of the spine in the joint stiffness cards. The advantage of this discretization is that after a positioning simulation all torsional beams are pre-stressed automatically. To define a frictional moment between the vertebrae, there are further coordinate systems CID 2000 -2016. These Coordinate systems are not shown in the picture above. The following table shows the definition of the coordinate systems and it’s location.

Figure 4 : Location of coordinate systems on the arms and legs

Figure 4 shows the location of coordinate systems of the joints in the BioRID2 model. The coordinate systems are used to define the joint stiffness of the extremities. These coordinate systems are also important to build a tree file structure to position the dummy. The following table shows the definition of the coordinate systems and the location.
