User's Guide for the Programs of COMBIMAN (COMputerized BIomechanical MAN-Model).

Abstract

This User's Guide has been developed to describe the operational procedures to be followed when using the AMRL COMBIMAN (COMputerized BIomechanical MAN-model) programs. The Guide is based on the programs as they stand as of 1 November 1976. The Guide includes an introduction to the COMBIMAN man-model and the conventions used to develop and analyze workstations. It also deals with the operation of three of the programs which make up the COMBIMAN system. These programs include the heart of the COMBIMAN system, the interactive graphics program CBM04, and the two key file creation/modification programs CBMAM, which maintains the data base of anthropometric surveys, and CMBWM, which maintains the data base of workstation configurations. The guide to the operation of the three main routines includes descriptions of the processing available with each program, definitions and examples of all input and output data formats used, procedures to follow to load the programs and specify processing for each, and explanations of all diagnostic messages generated by the programs.
