Description
Summary:Computer-aided design (CAD) systems are widely used for the modeling and design of various kinds of environments and products. Suitable additional programs, used together with a common CAD system, make it also possible to check and develop the features of man-machine interface. When various kinds of ergonomic aspects are studied with the aid of a computer, the procedure can be characterized by the concept "ergoCAD". Nowadays these programs are generally anthropometric modeling programs.
