Three Dimensional Display of the COMBIMAN Man-Model and Work Space.
Abstract
This report describes the status of the COMputerized BIomechanical MAN-model, COMBIMAN, as of Oct 73. It deals with the theoretical development of the concepts of the COMBIMAN model, and their application. COMBIMAN is a 3-D computer graphic manikin used for the design and evaluation of workplaces. The report explains the modelling technique used in constructing the man-model. Equations were derived which allow the user to compute the coordinates of points on the model in a specified body position. These equations form the core of the COMBIMAN computer programs. The report also describes the theoretical background and techniques for the prediction of human attitudes in specified task/or environmental conditions. Using the described techniques for constructing and positioning the model, the report also deals with predicting the reach capabilities of a human operator.
