Editing Manikin Variables

You can create a standard manikin and this creates all the anthropometric variables and specify them to automatic, that is, system managed. The values of these variables depend on the sex of the manikin and the anthropometry chosen at creation (5th, 50th, or 95th percentile). You can manually modify any variable's value to configure the manikin by changing the Management from Automatic to Manual. All variables have a minimum and maximum value taken from the database of the population to which the manikin belongs. If you enter a value that goes out of bounds, the system defines the variable value to its maximum or minimum.
