GHBMC Virtual Human Body Models

People are not one-size-fits-all. The tools we use to study them shouldn’t be, either. Explore the GHBMC virtual human body models for testing your technologies, which are customizable to a wide range of anthropometries.

Model Family

The GHBMC model family covers both occupant and pedestrian models, male and female, across a range of sizes (F05, F50, M50, M95 and 6YO child). They are available in detailed and simplified versions depending on the needs.

Detailed Models

  • Detailed injury prediction
    Designed for crash-induced injury metrics criteria
  • Robust models
    Highly complex bones and internal organs
  • Variety of uses
    Optimal for crash, sport, and military related studies

Detailed Model Layers

  • Male and female models of varying sizes
  • Both occupant and pedestrian postures
  • Designed from a robust medical imaging dataset
  • Comprehensive validation from tissue level up to full body
  • More than 100 publications in the literature
  • Detailed musculoskeletal system for enhanced kinematics
  • Options for passive and active musculature
  • Explicitly represented organs for localized tissue injury risk prediction
  • Capabilities to extract both deterministic and probabilistic injury risks
  • Continuous development to enhance injury prediction capabilities
  • All major biomechanical components of human skeletal system are modeled
  • Detailed modeling for hard tissue injury prediction

Simplified Models

  • Fewer elements for faster run time
    Up to 50x faster run time versus detailed models
  • Designed for kinematics and kinetics
    Optimized for robustness, ease of positioning, and modularity
  • Easier to configure
    Fewer elements and contacts, kinematic joints, and simple materials

Simplified Model Layers

  • Same body shape and size as corresponding detailed models
  • Developed for enhanced computational efficiency
  • Ideal for parametric studies
  • Designed to accurately capture kinetics and kinematic
  • Validated at full body level
  • Implemented simplified material models
  • Reduced element density
  • Decreased number of contacts
  • Thoracic and abdominal organs modeled as homogenized volumes
  • Volume shapes designed to allow direct implementation of detailed organs on a regional level
  • Approach allows user to maintain computational efficiency and still predict specific injury in their area of interest
  • Same skeletal geometries as detailed models
  • Computational savings through rigidized bones
  • Mechanical joints implemented to allow GUI-based, dummy-like repositioning
