Computerized Biomechanical Man-Model

Abstract

The COMputerized BIomechanical MAN-model (called COMBIMAN) is a computer interactive graphics technique for workplace design. This model allows a designer, sitting at a CRT, to manipulate a three-dimensional male form of variable anthropometry and to design a workplace around him by means of a lightpen. While originally intended for aircraft design and evaluation, the general format of the model is suitable for consideration of virtually any workplace configuration and can be used to evaluate existing or theoretical workplaces with equal ease and precision.
