Virtual Human Body Models

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

Elemance licenses the family of GHBMC virtual human body models, offering over a dozen models that represent a variety of anthropometries, ages and sexes. Models are available in a whole body model or specific body regions that can be morphed to fit a wide range of specifications, giving you the ability to study your design in highly customizable scenarios.

Model Types

Elemance provides virtual human body models in varying detail options.
