APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR EVALUATING EQUIPMENT OPERABILITY, AND EQUIPMENT OPERABILITY EVALUATING PROGRAM

When an input unit of the equipment operability evaluating apparatus selects the human body type of the human body model and a scenario, the posture calculation unit calculates an appropriate operating posture of the human body model having the physique of the selected human body type for each of the supposed operations set by the supposed operation setting unit, and the simulation unit arranges an equipment model and a human body model having the calculated operating posture in the three-dimensional virtual space, and displays the view image as an image of the three-dimensional virtual space viewed from the point of view of the human body model. The operation recording unit records the operation result of the equipment model on the view image, and the operability evaluation unit evaluates the operability of the equipment based on the recorded operation result.
