Center of gravity (COG)

The center of gravity cannot be manipulated. However, the COG is constantly updated as the manikin's posture changes.

You can display the support polygon of manikin's balance in the viewer. The color of the support polygon will change from green to red if the manikin loses his balance.



You will see the transparent support polygon of manikin when the COG in the display panel is checked.  If the manikin is out of balance, the polygon will become red instead of green. The shape of the support polygon will change according to the change of posture of the manikin's lower body.

Referential

This shows the current referential of the manikin.
