Abstract
The two main objectives of this project are to understand the menu and basic functions of RAMSIS. The other purpose of this project is to implement the understanding of the software and used those skills to improve the design of an excavator by doing ergonomic analysis. This report talks about several main functions used to create manikins, discomfort assessment, and the future improvement of the project based on the result. The project mainly focuses on a 50 percentile American male body size manikin. After running several iteration and analyses, by raising the armrest height, the result shows it is necessary to improve the excavator in order to make the product more user-friendly. This report also compared and contrasted with another paper with a similar project done by Sinchuk et al. The comparison allows the author to think further about the project and also learned serval new ways that will lead to the same result.
