We see so much advancement in the field of ergonomics in this time. However, there remains certain limitations in the extent of research when it comes to anthropometric data acquisition and its direct impact in the development and production stages of office chairs. This work covers the relevant findings of the design analysis of an anthropometric chair using Computer Aided Modeling software such as SolidWorks for the design of the component parts of the chair and ANSYS for the Finite Element Analysis. The whole analysis of the anthropometric chair reveals the stress-life curve of the chair, its crack life, stress points, areas of the maximum deformation and other significant analytical results. The research eventually reveals structural integrity and shows the life of the chair. This research serves to benefit all works pertaining to design in ergonomics.
