Abstract

A computer-implemented method of analyzing postural comfort of an occupant seated on a seat track of a vehicle includes obtaining, at a computing device having one or more processors, a first set of data corresponding to a mannequin definition, obtaining, at the computing device, a second set of data corresponding to reference geometry of an environment of the vehicle, and obtaining, at the computing device, a third set of data corresponding to vehicle occupant comfort guidelines. Including generating, at the computing device, a CAD template with a mannequin model, vehicle reference geometry including the seat track, and comfort guidelines based on the first set of data, the second set of data, and the third set of data, and automatically determining, at the computing device, whether one or more locations on the seat track are a comfortable seating position for the occupant based at least on the third set of data.
