The AnyBody Modeling System can be used as an ingress / egress simulation software to evaluate the dynamics of ingress and egress. Typically, this is done using a model driven and loaded by motion capture data. This type of model allows detailed insight into internal body parameters as muscle and joint forces while doing the motion.
Examples:
- Ingress and egress simulation answers
- Evaluation of the ingress / egress motion
- Elder-friendly vehicle ingress design
- Comfort / discomfort evaluation of car ingress motion
Examples of input and output for a model of ingress / egress simulation:
Input:
- Motion capture data (C3D/BVH)
- Force plate data (C3D)
Output:
- Muscle and joint reaction forces
- Motion of joints
- And much more

The steps to model this can be the following
- Start with the motion capture model Multi trial MoCap Model to define the experimental setup
- Define the experimental setup by defining the force plates (if any)
- Run the motion analysis
- Run the inverse dynamic analysis
- Evaluate the output
