This +model is a human sitting in a generic chair where the seat, +backrest, arm rests, foot rest and head rest can be adjusted +and their influence on the forces in the human body can be +investigated. + +:::{note} +The contact conditions are conditional with +respect to the distance between the body and the surface +in question so that they are only active when the contact +pair is close to each other. +::: + +The contact between the human body and the chair is by means +of contact elements that can only provide compression and +friction but no tension. The available friction is proportional +to the normal force and the user can supply a friction +coefficient for each surface such that the effect of different +surface fabrics can be investigated. +
