User's Guide for Combiman Programs (COMputerized BIomechanical MAN-Model). Version 6.

ADA139139

Publication Date	1983
Personal Author	Bapu, P.; Korna, M.; McDaniel, J.
Page Count	310
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 is based on programs as of 1 May 1981. The Guide 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 the interactive graphics program CBM06, and the three key data base creation/modification programs CBMAM, CBMCM, and CBMVM, which create and maintain the Data Bases of anthropometric surveys, crew station configurations, and visibility contour definitions respectively. The guide also contains a complete description of the use of CBMOFF, the off-line plot program. The guide to operate the four main programs includes descriptions of the processing capabilities for each program, definitions and examples of all input and output data formats, procedures to execute the programs, and explanations of all diagnostic messages generated by the programs.
