ManikinPC

ManikinPC (Manikin Physiology Control and Predictive Comfort) is a specialized software solution designed to simulate human thermoregulation and predict thermal comfort, safety, and physiological responses. It integrates with adaptive thermal manikins to act as virtual human surrogates, enabling engineers to evaluate environmental conditions, garments, and equipment in real-time. ManikinPC is widely used in automotive, defense, and medical industries to optimize human-centric design and testing.
