Abstract
A computer-implemented method and system determine an initial or starting position of a manikin for use in simulation. The method automatically analyzes environment data to determine a highest ranking type of data from among the environment data. In response, a guiding vector and a sweep mode are determined based upon the determined highest ranking type of data. The determined guiding vector and sweep mode are used to automatically analyze free space between a manikin and a target object in a simulated real-world environment to determine an initial position for and pre-position of the manikin in a simulation of the real-world environment.
