Numerical approach for separation and movement of the fingers of the HUGO model for analysis of SAR distribution

The aim of this paper is to describe a numerical approach for separation and movement of the fingers of the human body model HUGO, which is implemented as an enhancement of the “BodyFlex” application. The algorithm allows the generation of a proper posture of the HUGO model´s hand for evaluation of the electromagnetic effects from mobile phones through the analysis and comparison of the SAR values. Non-axis aligned control lattices aligned with the position of the fingers were introduced, in order to optimally treat the movement of the fingers, which are bent over the lower part of the abdomen in the original model.
