Patent number: 7099734Abstract: A method of evaluating a product for use on a body used to develop a preferred product configuration using a computer-based virtual product development and testing system. A virtual wearer sub-model is created of the body and a virtual product sub-model is created of a product for use on the body. An environment sub-model is generated so that environmental factors affecting the product or the body are also used in designing or evaluating the product. Instructions defining how the wearer sub-model, the product sub-model and the environment sub-model interact are introduced in an interaction model. The sub-models and the interaction defined by the interaction model are then combined to create a virtual use model simulating the use of the virtual product sub-model by the virtual wearer sub-model. The use model determines the forces, deformations and stresses caused by movement and interaction between the virtual wearer sub-model and the virtual product sub-model using numerical method analysis.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2003Date of Patent: August 29, 2006Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Christopher M. Pieper, Garry Roland Woltman, Sara Jane Wille Stabelfeldt, Yung Hsiang Huang, Deanna R. Kathumbi-Jackson, John E. Kerins
