Ergonomics and Biomechanics Products
Human Modeling Software Solutions
NexGen is pleased to announce the immediate availability of HumanCAD Version 1.1. This is the first software update of HumanCAD since its release in May.
HumanCAD
Digital human modeling technology is an important tool in determining the human fit of products and workplaces before they are built. HumanCAD is NexGen Ergonomics' next generation digital human modeling platform, with a more intuitive interface, a plugin system, new inverse kinematics, and more. Leading manufacturing corporations, product design companies, government organizations, forensic consultants and universities have purchased our digital human modeling solutions.
ErgoTools
The new ErgoTools module includes the HumanCAD 3D static biomechanical model, and interface to the University of Michigan 3DSSPP and the 1991 NIOSH lifting equation.
Other new features include:
- New camera management allowing for the creation of custom viewpoints and cameras
- New library of hand postures
- Many bug fixes and enhancements (improved Forward and Inverse Kinematics controllers, screen capture to PNG files, etc.)
Mac OS X support
HumanCAD now runs natively on Mac OS X, on both Intel and PowerPC architectures. The Mac version is scheduled to be shipped by the end of November. All HumanCAD modules will be supported.
Academic Guide
The academic guide has been produced to assist instructors with ergonomic and biomechanics theory. It provides the instructor with real-world examples that can easily be evaluated or simulated with the HumanCAD program.

Sales of licenses for ManneQuinPRO/ELITE will only be available to existing clients who wish to purchase additional licenses of these products. New sales of ManneQuinPRO V10.2 and ManneQuinELITE V1.are discontinued. We will, however, continue to provide support for ManneQuinPRO versions 8 through 10.2 and ManneQuinELITE.
As previously announced, as of May 1, 2007, we no longer provide support for ManneQuinPRO versions V7.0 and V7.1 and earlier or ManneQuinONSITE.
Upgrade credits against purchases of HumanCAD for previous users of ManneQuin Versions 1.0 or 2.0 and ManneQuinONSITE will expire December 31, 2007. Upgrade credits for all other versions are reduced annually at the end of each calendar year.

Moven Updates
Following the successful introduction of Moven last year, Xsens is now proud to present the release of several new Moven features.
Moven Studio 2.0 offers a range of new user options, including extended capturing rates (up to 120Hz), scaling to the subjects' dimensions and various export and streaming options. These features allow researchers and developers to get more accurate measurements and easier access to the 3D motion data captured with Moven.
Moven has already been proven to be particularly well suited for sports scientists using the system in demanding outdoor applications. By improving the cable quality and the wireless communication components, the system's robustness and reliability have been further enhanced.
By both software and hardware modifications, Moven now offers improved performance in any situation, making Moven yet easier to use.
The Moven system includes a full body suit, Moven Studio 2.0 and wireless communication. This all comes in a single flight case, for easy transport. The price further includes 1 year of free software maintenance and support and a 2-year warranty. Moven is also available in a lower or upper body configuration.
End-of-year offer for research institutes
We want to encourage research institutes to experience the benefits of using Moven in their biomechanical research set-up. Therefore Xsens offers a second year of free software maintenance and support for Moven orders received until December 31st, 2007.
