Design for the Human at the Center of It All
Your product touches a real human being.
Study it in a virtual human body model that behaves like one.
At the heart of every human-machine interface is a human being. At the heart of everything we do is that person’s health and safety. Our virtual human body models, human-centered research and design tools provide design relevant data for virtual prototyping and development on a comprehensive scale.

Evaluate More Than the Bare Bones
Elemance licenses sophisticated virtual human body models that simulate the complex and nuanced interactions between technology and the human body. Elemance also provides R&D services around these models. This combination gives researchers and developers the industry-leading tools they need to evaluate their designs.
By evaluating a product using a virtual human body model that behaves like a real human body, you can create products with intentionally human-centered design. With a suite of models encompassing a variety of ages, sizes and sexes, your results will better represent the range of the human population and improve how your technology or research interacts with the people who use it.
When simulating the human body’s response to any situation, details matter. Elemance’s virtual human body models enable you to study how the whole human behaves in response to external environments and interactions with technologies, from muscles to bones to organs. These physics-based simulation models are built on a foundation of reliable data and expert validation and are constantly updated and expanded to provide leading-edge feedback for your research and designs.
The Difference Virtual Human Body Models Make
Better Foundation
Elemance is the sole distributor of the GHBMC human body models, which were developed, tested and validated by an international group of subject matter experts in each region of the human body. They accurately represent biological tissues, providing the closest thing to a human body you can get for testing your device virtually.
Better Representation
This suite of models provides a way to assess technology’s impact on a variety of ages, sizes and sexes, giving you data that better represents a wide range of the human population.
Better Results
Every computation produces millions of data points from models that have been thoroughly tested and vetted by subject matter experts, so that you have a better platform for testing your technology’s impact and your results have a foundation of data unparalleled by other human surrogates.

Explore the Possibilities
Virtual human body models can be applied across a wide range of industries. Discover if your area of research and development is one where the GHBMC models are frequently applied.
Automotive
GHBMC models provide an excellent tool for evaluating passive and active automotive safety systems and can play a key part in assessing safety to meet certification requirements.
Sports
GHBMC models can be used to study protective sports gear like helmets and shin guards as well as sport environments to simulate real world injuries in order to improve safety for players.
Aerospace
GHBMC models can evaluate human safety interventions for a new era of air transportation, from traditional air travel to electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) and space travel.
Military
GHBMC models are used to research the risk of injury to military personnel in areas such as Behind Armor Blunt Trauma (BABT), Underbody Blast (UBB), head injuries and ejection injuries.
Healthcare
GHBMC models can assist your company with evaluating new medical devices for fit and functionality in patients of all shapes and sizes, from the simplest device to the most complex.
