- As automotive seating comfort is expected to see an upward trend, virtual comfort analysis is expected to pick up its importance and Body Pressure Distribution (BPD)is foreseen to be the flag bearer in this race towards seat comfort. The shift of focus from BPD testing to virtual comfort analysis has been a positive sign for market potential and it adds to being more agile to adapt to emerging trends. This paper will discuss the best possible human seating posture during BPD test which would corelate better with virtual manikin setting for the same purpose. With this best practice, the real time-tested BPD map would be produce repeatedly with less variation with analytical BPD map and eventually the comfortable seat design would be achieved in a shorter period in terms of production with greater accuracy.
