Using digital human models (DHMs) as the virtual representation of body enables integration ergonomic assessments in product design process. Especially use DHMs early phases can be decisive for competitive factors such ergonomics or usability. Therefore, we present a method automatic posture generation grasping tasks using musculoskeletal model. This analyses without knowledge designer subject tests. We implemented presented cylinder scenario open source software OpenSim. Subsequently, evaluated implementation by means parameter study.
