Ramsis Automotive

Efficient interior development

The 3D CAD manikin RAMSIS is a highly accurate simulation software program for a wide range of design and construction analyses. RAMSIS addresses demands on ergonomics, comfort and safety as early as the planning stage. Latter-stage improvements can be dispensed with and the need for physical test benches is significant reduced.

RAMSIS analysis quality contributes considerably to series production readiness - and consequently to the economic success of the vehicle, since the system uses current, international body dimension databases to supply accurate representative results about product requirements for complex international target markets - roughly 3 to 5 times faster than conventional analysis methods. This reduces costs by up to 50% (Source: independent calculations by vehicle manufacturers).

Analyses with RAMSIS can be applied to completely different vehicle types. Time and costs for time-consuming space-saving tests for new vehicle concepts can be dispensed with. The system acquires and analyzes physical measurement sizes just as dependably as it does with the space, force and vision requirements of a target group. RAMSIS has all these factors flow into the design process - and then actively recommends ergonomic and expedient solutions based on the specific details of the project at hand.

► Development costs reduced by more than 50%

► Reduction of vehicle development timeframe by a factor of 3 to 5

► Optimal reachability and operability of all operating controls

► Representation of human differences through an international group of virtual test persons

► Direct comparison of various vehicle concepts with the same test collective
