User's Guide for COMBIMAN Programs (COMputerized BIomechanical MAN-Model) Version 5

Abstract

This user's guide describes the procedures to operate the Air Force Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory's (AFAMRL) Computerized Biomechanical MAN- model (COMBIMAN) programs. The guide, based on the programs as of 1 May 1981, includes an introduction to the man-model and the conventions used to develop and analyze crew station configurations. It also deals with the operations of the programs included in the COMBIMAN system. These programs include an interactive graphics program CBM05, and three key file creation/modification programs which create and maintain the Data Bases of anthropometric surveys, crew station configurations, and visibility contour definitions. The guide also contains a complete description of the use of the off-line plot program. The guide to operate the four main programs includes descriptions of the available processing for each program, definitions and examples of all input and output data formats, procedures to load the programs, and explanations of all diagnostic messages generated by the programs.
