User's Guide for COMBIMAN Programs (COMputerized BIomechanical MAN-Model). Version 4.

Abstract

This User's Guide describes the operational procedures for using the COMBIMAN (COMputerized BIomechanical MAN-Model) programs. The Guide includes an introduction to the man-model and the conventions used to develop and analyze crew stations. It also deals with the operation of the programs which make up the COMBIMAN system. These programs include the interactive graphics program CBM04, and the three key file creation/modification programs, CBMAM, CBMCM, and CBMVM, which maintains the Data Bases of anthropometric surveys, crew station configurations, and visibility contour definitions respectively. It also contains a complete description of the use of CBMOFF, the off-line plot program. The guide to the operation of the four main programs 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.
