Abstract :
A powerful goal for 3D CAD tools is today the simulation of working environments to find the ergonomic parameters which relate people to objects in the space. Mathematical models of human movements are complex to define and hard to solve. Artificial neural systems (ANS) could be an interesting approach to the problem: why not to use artificial neurons to simulate actual neurons? This work deals with a first approach to a major project. We used ANS to simulate the movement of a human arm in a CAD environment
