Jack

Jack is a human modeling and simulation software system. It simulates the movements of one or more human figures. It can determine mobility, vision and reach. It also checks for collisions with other personnel or the environment. Jack can be scaled to different sizes, can model strenth capabilities, and can animate actual tasks to be carried out in a given environment. Jack supports the importation and graphic manipulation of externally-designed CAD modules as a virtual world into which one or more anthropmetrically valid human figures may be placed and animated.
