Tool · Body-Flow Diagrams
How designs move across the body.
Select a body zone to read the primary and secondary flow that governs it, and to jump to the relevant case-study article.
Zone
Shoulder & deltoid
Primary flow
Wraps around the deltoid following its rotation; the primary flow arcs from clavicle over the cap of the shoulder toward the upper arm.
Secondary flow
Internal texture typically runs perpendicular to the arc, catching light differently as the arm rotates.
Joint considerations
Glenohumeral: designs must survive full external and internal rotation.
