Abstract :
Computer generated models of three dimensional mannequins can be used to visually and objectively analyze the human fit to the equipment being designed. A computer program has been developed which runs under an AutoCAD platform and enables users to conduct evaluations of human fit from the early stage of design. The program is useful in both classroom demonstrations and industrial applications. The program features are described and its application illustrated with an example
