A computer program for the evaluation of cockpit configurations using a 23 pin-joint articulated stick-man (BOEMAN-I) is presented. This program utilized an updatable bank of anthropological and environmental data, and simulates the motion of a real pilot performing tasks in a crewstation. The program provides information concerning reach capability, locations and orientations of joints, pilot-cockpit visual interferences, numerical performance indicators on joint displacement and deflection, and mass displacements. The program provides also a statistical validation when comparing real pilot and BOEMAN-I paths of motion. (Author)
