Detailed Description

A class implementing a RigidTendonMuscle actuator with no states.

The path information for a RigidTendonMuscle is contained in the base class, and the force-generating behavior should is defined in this class. The force (muscle tension) assumes rigid tendon so that fiber-length and velocity are kinematics dependent and the force-length force-velocity relationships are evaluated directly. The control of this model is its activation. Force production is instantaneous with no excitation-to-activation dynamics and excitation=activation.
