User's Guide for Crew Chief: A Computer Graphics Simulation of an Aircraft Maintenance Technician (Version 1 - CD 20)

Abstract

This User's Guide describes the procedures for using the CREW CHIEF system of programs. The CREW CHIEF system of programs is a computer graphics simulation of the physical characteristics and capabilities of Air Force maintenance technicians. The system as it now exists operates interactively with the CADAM (computer aided design and manufacturing) software package. The user should be knowledgeable in CADAM operations, as CADAM interactions are not included in this document. The Guide includes an introduction to the technician model (man-model) and the conventions used to develop and analyze the interactions of the man-model's physical characteristics and capabilities with the elements of the work station. Keywords: Three-dimensional; Anthropometric; Man model; Aircraft design; Computer simulation; Aircraft maintainability; Aircraft maintenance tools evaluation; Aircraft maintenance technician; Manual materials handling; Visibility; Interactive analyses; Computer aided engineering.
