ABSTRACT:
A system for developing a design of an environment such as an aircraft cockpit. A processor generates body models describing a percentage of a body population potentially to be accommodated by the environment. A processor-user interface displays an environment design relative to the body models. The interface accepts user changes to the design and the body models. The processor modifies the design and the body models in accordance with user changes. The system allows a designer of an airplane cockpit to rapidly visualize, analyze and assess its accommodation of a desired percentage of pilots.
