7.1.2.3 Variations of the Human Body Models
To cover a broad range of body weights, six body models were generated
according to regulation DIN 33402-2:2005-12, Table

. The percentile 5 rep-
resents the size ''small'', where 5 % of the values are below that limit, percentile
50 represents the size ''medium'', where 50 % of the values are found above or
