Ergonomics Standards - CoG Human Body 2

[sammybrush]

Hello,
I am currently looking for a definitive standard that can be used in the creation of a percentile ergonomic model.

I have found a NASA document that shows some of the lengths of various limbs, torso's and the suchlike. However I cannot find any reference to the center of gravity of the items.

My overall goal is to create a "simple" 2D stick model, using the lengths and sizes provided and then a overall CoG can be calculated. This stick model is then to be modelled in Adams to visualise the movement and record the new position of the centre of gravity throughout the simulation.

Does anybody know of any standards that may be able to help me in the creation of the model?

I presume that this could be completed using industry standard 3D models and simulation packages but currently I do not have the budget to support this exercise..... Hence the calculation route.

Many thanks

Thank you very much for all who have offered me advice.

I have looked mainly at the Nasa link (third one down on HamishMcTavish list of links) and tried to reference all my information from that research. However, bits of critical information are missing so I am going to make some assumptions with certain parameters.

I will check the BSI standards as well.

Again many thanks to all who have helped me.
