Computer-aided human modeling programs analyze workstation ergonomics. A comparison of six programs (CYBERMAN, COMBIMAN, CREW CHIEF, JACK, SAMMIE, MANNEQUIN) aids users in selecting the best fit for their design needs.

Area of Science:

  • Ergonomics and Human Factors
  • Computer-Aided Design (CAD)
  • Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)

Background:

  • Workstation design requires evaluating human-computer interaction and physical fit.
  • Computer-aided human modeling (CAHM) offers a digital approach to ergonomic analysis.
  • Selecting the appropriate CAHM software is crucial for effective workstation design.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare six representative CAHM programs for workstation design.
  • To analyze the system requirements, operating characteristics, and applicability of each program.
  • To evaluate the ergonomic functions offered by these human modeling programs.

Main Methods:

  • Selection of six CAHM programs: CYBERMAN, COMBIMAN, CREW CHIEF, JACK, SAMMIE, and MANNEQUIN.
