Detailed Description

A Solver to compute the induced accelerations of an applied "force" acting on the model.

The solver can applyg constraints to replace external (contact) forces in order to decompose contributions of external reaction forces and to subsequentlt determine the induced (generalized) accelerations (udot). The solver can compute the induced acceleration and constraint reaction force contributions for any model Force.

The solver converts the unconstrained system:

(1) [M]*udot = G(q) + V(q,u) + S(t, q,u) + F(t, q, u, z, x) where G = gravitational, V = velocity dependent, S = external or contact forces w.r.t. to ground and F are all other applied model forces like motors and muscles. q generalized coordinates, u mobilities (gen speeds, qdot = [N]*u) z other state variables (e.g. muscle fiber lengths), x controls t time, q, u, and z constitute the State of the model

to a constrained system: (2a) [M]*udot = G(q) + V(q,u) -[~C]*lambda + F(t, q, u, z, x) (2b) [C]*udot = b(t,q,u) by replacing the external forces or passive contact force S with rigid kinematic constraints imposed on the system acceleration ([C] and b obtained by differentiating position and velocity constraints) and enforced in the system dynamics by Lagrange multipliers, lambda. NOTE: The validity of the constraints can be tested by the accuracy by which [~C]*lambda can reconstitute S, when all forces are applied.

Eqn 2 is linear in both udot (accelerations) and external (or contact) forces and the contribution of applied forces to the model's accelerations (udot_i) and external forces (reaction_i) can be directly evaluated. The contribution of a force (like gravity or a muscle) to the system acceleration is called its "induced acceleration" and the contribution to the reaction (or external) force is its "induced reaction".

NOTE, the sum of induced accelerations and reactions MUST must total to the complete system acceleration or external force when all model forces are applied.

The solver can apply any OpenSim::Constraint that implements setContactPointForInducedAccelerations() to replace external and/or contact forces that are applied during a forward dynamics simulation.

NOTE, if the solver has not been called to solve for induced accelerations for a given force contributor, an exception is thrown. These methods are intendted to provide low cost access to accelerations in different forms once accelerations have already been resolved.

const SimTK::Vector& OpenSim::InducedAccelerationsSolver::solve	(	const SimTK::State &	state,
		const SimTK::Vector &	appliedMobilityForces,
		const SimTK::Vector_< SimTK::SpatialVec > &	appliedBodyForces,
		SimTK::Vector_< SimTK::SpatialVec > *	constraintReactions = `0`
	)

Add a constraint that will replace an external or contact force in the model (identified by name).

Replacing a force that is not an ExternalForce, ElasticFoundationForce or HuntCrossleyForce (in contact with ground) will cause an Exception.

Any OpenSim::Constraint that implements the method setContactPointForInducedAccelerations(SimTK::State state, Vec3 point) (

See Also: OpenSim::Constraint) can be applied as a replacement.

A threshold is used to determine when the constraint should be engaged. If the external force magnitude exceeds the threshold, it is replaced by the constraint to solve for induced accelerations.

void replaceForceWithConstraint(const std::string& forceToReplace, const Constraint& replacementConstraint, double threshold); Solve for the induced (generalized) accelerations (udot) resulting from the suppied force. An supplied force is expressed as any combination of mobility (generalized) forces and/or body forces.

Parameters

[in]	state	current State of the model
[in]	appliedMobilityForces	Vector of applied mobility forces
[in]	appliedBodyForces	Vector of spatial forces applied to the model (1 per body)
[out]	constraintReactions	(optional) Vector of induced reaction forces

Returns: A const reference to the Vector of resulting model induced generalized accelerations (udot).

const SimTK::Vector& OpenSim::InducedAccelerationsSolver::solve	(	const SimTK::State &	state,
		const std::string &	forceName,
		bool	computeActuatorPotentialOnly = `false`,
		SimTK::Vector_< SimTK::SpatialVec > *	constraintReactions = `0`
	)

Solve for the induced (generalized) accelerations (udot) resulting from any model force identified by name.

Parameters

[in]	state	current State of the model
[in]	forceName	name of model Force contributor "gravity" and "velocity" are special names for gravitational forces and velocity dependent forces (Coriolis and gyroscopic). Otherwise use the name of the Force component.
[in]	computeActuatorPotentialOnly	flag (bool) to determine only the potential of an Actuator (a Force) due to an actuation (scalar rep of the actuator's force magnitude) of 1. Since force scales linearly
[out]	constraintReactions	(optional) Vector of induced reaction forces

Returns: A const reference to the Vector of the induced generalized accelerations (udot) from the specified force.
