Detailed Description

A base class for modeling a muscle-tendon actuator.

It defines muscle parameters and methods to PathActuator, but does not implement all of the necessary methods, and remains an abstract class. The path information for a muscle is contained in PathActuator, and the force-generating behavior should be defined in the derived classes.

This class defines a subset of muscle models that include an active fiber (contractile element) in series with a tendon. This class defines common data members and handles the geometry of a unipennate fiber in connection with a tendon. No states are assumed, but concrete classes are free to add whatever states are necessary to describe the specific behavior of a muscle.

clone()

Muscle* OpenSim::Muscle::clone ( ) const

overridepure virtual

Create a new heap-allocated copy of the concrete object to which this Object refers.

It is up to the caller to delete the returned object when no longer needed. Every concrete object deriving from Object implements this pure virtual method automatically, via the declaration macro it invokes (e.g., OpenSim_DECLARE_CONCRETE_OBJECT()). Note that the concrete class overrides modify the return type to be a pointer to the concrete object; that still overrides the base class method because the return type is covariant with (that is, derives from) Object.

Implements OpenSim::ScalarActuator.

computeInitialFiberEquilibrium()

virtual void OpenSim::Muscle::computeInitialFiberEquilibrium ( SimTK::State &  s ) const

protectedpure virtual

This function modifies the fiber length in the supplied state such that the fiber and tendon are developing the same force, taking activation and velocity into account.

This routine can assume that the state contains a meaningful estimate of muscle activation, joint positions, and joint velocities. For example, this can produce fiber lengths suited to beginning a forward dynamics simulation. computeFiberEquilibriumAtZeroVelocity().

Implemented in OpenSim::Millard2012AccelerationMuscle, OpenSim::Millard2012EquilibriumMuscle, OpenSim::DeGrooteFregly2016Muscle, OpenSim::Thelen2003Muscle, OpenSim::ActivationFiberLengthMuscle_Deprecated, and OpenSim::RigidTendonMuscle.

overrideprotectedvirtual

computePotentialEnergy()

overrideprotectedvirtual

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Force.

extendAddToSystem()

void OpenSim::Muscle::extendAddToSystem ( SimTK::MultibodySystem &  system ) const

overrideprotectedvirtual

Add appropriate Simbody elements (if needed) to the System corresponding to this component and specify needed state resources.

extendAddToSystem() is called when the Simbody System is being created to represent a completed system (model) for computation. That is, connect() will already have been invoked on all components before any addToSystem() call is made. Helper methods for adding modeling options, state variables and their derivatives, discrete variables, and cache entries are available and can be called within extendAddToSystem() only.

Note that this method is const; you may not modify your model component or the containing model during this call. Any modifications you need should instead be performed in finalizeFromProperties() or at the latest connect(), which are non-const. The only exception is that you may need to record access information for resources you create in the system, such as an index number. For most Components, OpenSim base classes either provide convenience methods or handle indices automatically. Otherwise, you must declare indices as mutable data members so that you can set them here.

If you override this method, be sure to invoke the base class method at the beginning, using code like this:

void MyComponent::extendAddToSystem(SimTK::MultibodySystem& system) const {
    // Perform any additions to the system required by your Super
    Super::extendAddToSystem(system);
    // ... your code goes here
}

This method assumes that this Component's addToSystem will be invoked before its subcomponents. If you need your subcomponents to be added to the system, first (e.g. require of a Force to be anchored to a SimTK::MobilizedBody specified by subcomponents) then you must implement: extendAddToSystemAfterSubcomponents(). It is possible to implement both method to add system elements before and then after your subcomponents have added themselves. Caution is required that Simbody elements are not added twice especially when order is unimportant.

Parameters

[in,out]

system

The MultibodySystem being added to.
