How to edit a Manikin Comfort Angle file (mca) to match NASA documentation

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.3.0

We would like help understanding how to edit a Comfort Angle file (mca) for a Manikin comfort analysis.
We are trying to correlate the PTC provided zero gravity file with NASA documentation and getting results that don't quite make sense.

Hi @gtwalker 

 

There is some information documented in Help Center about about editing MCA file available at:  https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/r12/usascii//index.html#page/model_analysis/manikin/To_Edit_the_Manikin_Comforta_Angle_mca_File.html

 

Thanks. 

We reviewed the help documentation, unfortunately the help we need may be more basic than just editing the text file.

I think the NASA documentation is in degrees and the MCA file is in radians and when we try to do the conversion and enter the values we are getting very strange results (an ankle joint that can bend almost 180 degrees?).
We are sure it has to do with positive and negative values and the conversion but unclear what is wrong.
Do you have any suggestions for how to make sure the conversions are entered correctly?
