The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate the usefulness of a software for biomechanical modelling – AnyBody™ Modeling System. The thesis initially introduces the software as its creator describes it and explains why and how the software is used at research institutions across the world. Additionally, this thesis explores how accessible the software is. One of the core aspects of this thesis is to show the functionality of the software via solving various straightforward cases - from looking at connections and interactions between them, to the analysis of results. Doing so, we also get acquainted with a new programming language AnyScript™, which is the basis for the AnyBody™ software. The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate that albeit having to learn a new programming language, it is not necessary to have a thorough programming knowledge - it is possible to build an elementary or complex model by simply applying a process that we call object insertion. Therefore, all that it is necessary to insert are the values, parameters and objects' names. However, despite the software itself being relatively straightforward to use, this is useless without the knowledge of human anatomy and biomechanics.
Finally, the main purpose of this thesis is a demonstration of key functionalities and core instructions for a user who is encountered with the software for the first time. This thesis is broken down by steps on real example, which lead the reader from the initial start of the software to a working model and finally to the analysis.
