Human body model contact simulation

Hello,
I would like to simulate a robot arm that comes into contact with a human during its movement.
Is there a human model for Simulink Multibody where I can display the contact forces and accelerations at the contact points?
Thank you for your help.

The short answer is yes, you can make use of the spatial contact force block to connect two geometries where contact should be simulated the standard contact model is linear spring damper with Coulomb friction. Although you could also create your own contact dynamics also by using this block.

Thank you for your answer.
Do you probably know if there is an existing model in MATLAB for a human body.
