Detailed Description


MocoContactTrackingGoal

Minimize the error between compliant contact force elements in the model and experimentally measured contact forces.

This class handles multiple groups of contact forces and a single experimental external loads file. Tracking ground reaction forces for the left and right feet in gait requires only one instance of this goal.

Note
The only contact element supported is SmoothSphereHalfSpaceForce.
This goal does not include torques or centers of pressure.

This goal is computed as follows:

\[ \frac{1}{mg} \int_{t_i}^{t_f} \sum_{j \in G} \|\mathrm{proj}_{\hat{n}}(\vec{F}_{m,j} - \vec{F}_{e,j})\|^2 ~dt \]

We use the following notation:

  • \( t_i \): the initial time of this phase.
  • \( t_f \): the final time of this phase.
  • \( mg \): the total weight of the system; replaced with \( m \) if \( g = 0 \).
  • \( G \): the set of contact groups.
  • \( \hat{n} \): a vector used for projecting the force error.
  • \( \mathrm{proj}_{\hat{n}}() \): this function projects the force error either onto \( \hat{n} \) or onto the plane perpendicular to \( \hat{n} \).
  • \( \vec{F}_{m,j} \) the sum of the contact forces in group \( j \), expressed in ground.
  • \( \vec{F}_{e,j} \) the experimental contact force for group \( j \), expressed in ground.

Tracking a subset of force components

The projection is useful for selecting which components of the force to track. The force can be projected to be onto a vector or onto a plane. For example, with gait, projecting onto the vector (0, 1, 0) allows tracking only the vertical component of a ground reaction force; projecting onto the plane perpendicular to the vector (0, 0, 1) allows ignoring the transverse force. See the projection and projection_vector properties.

Usage

To use this goal, specify the following:

Configuring the ExternalLoads

The ExternalLoads class is the standard way to provide experimental contact forces in OpenSim. This class is a set of ExternalForce objects. For gait, typically the ExternalLoads contains 2 ExternalForces, one for each foot. This goal uses the following information from ExternalLoads:

  • data_file: This scalar file contains all experimental force data with columns named according to each ExternalForce's force_identifier.

This goal uses the following information from each ExternalForce:

  • name: We use the name of the ExternalForce to associate it with a contact force group.
  • applied_on_body: All contact forces in the group with which this ExternalForce is associated must use this body as either the sphere_frame's base frame or the half_space_frame's base frame.
  • force_expressed_in_body: We use this to re-express the experimental force in ground. This is either the absolute path to a PhysicalFrame in the model, or the name of a Body in the model's BodySet.
  • force_identifier: The ExternalLoads data_file must include the 3 columns <force_identifier>x, <force_identifier>y, <force_identifier>z.

All other properties of ExternalLoads and ExternalForce are ignored by this goal. This means that experimental forces are processed differently by this goal than by other OpenSim tools such as Inverse Dynamics, Computed Muscle Control, and Forward.

Note
The ExternalLoads used by this goal is separate from the model. Using this goal implies that the model contains compliant contact forces, so adding ExternalLoads to the model would be redundant. This class uses the ExternalLoads only for computing the force error, not for applying forces to the model.

Scale factors

Add a MocoParameter to the problem that will scale the tracking reference data associated with a contact force group. Scale factors are applied to the tracking error calculations based on the following equation:

 error = modelValue - scaleFactor * referenceValue

In other words, the scale factor is applied when computing the tracking error for each contact force group, not to the reference data directly. You must specify both the external force name associated with the contact force group and the index corresponding to the direction (i.e., X = 0, Y = 1, Z = 2) of the scaled force value. The direction is applied in whatever frame the reference data is expressed in based on the provided ExternalLoads in each contact group.

Adding a scale factor to a MocoContactTrackingGoal.

auto* contactTrackingGoal = problem.addGoal<MocoContactTrackingGoal>();
...
contactTrackingGoal->addScaleFactor(
'RightGRF_vertical_scale_factor', 'Right_GRF', 1, {0.5, 2.0});

◆ addContactGroup() [1/2]

void OpenSim::MocoContactTrackingGoal::addContactGroup ( const std::vector< std::string > &  contactForcePaths,
const std::string &  externalForceName 
)
inline

Add a group of contact forces whose sum should track the force data from a single ExternalForce.

The externalForceName should be the name of an ExternalForce object in the ExternalLoads.

◆ addContactGroup() [2/2]

void OpenSim::MocoContactTrackingGoal::addContactGroup ( MocoContactTrackingGoalGroup  group)
inline

Add a group of contact forces whose sum should track the force data from a single ExternalForce.

If the contact force elements associated with a single ExternalForce are distributed across multiple bodies use this function instead of the easier-to-use addContactGroup(), and set the group's alternative_frame_paths property accordingly. See MocoContactTrackingGoalGroup for more information.

◆ addScaleFactor()

void OpenSim::MocoContactTrackingGoal::addScaleFactor ( const std::string &  name,
const std::string &  externalForceName,
int  index,
const MocoBounds bounds 
)

Add a MocoParameter to the problem that will scale the tracking reference data associated with a contact force group.

Scale factors are applied to the tracking error calculations based on the following equation:

error = modelValue - scaleFactor * referenceValue

In other words, the scale factor is applied when computing the tracking error for each contact force group, not to the reference data directly. You must specify both the external force name associated with the contact force group and the index corresponding to the direction (i.e., X = 0, Y = 1, Z = 2) of the scaled force value. The direction is applied in whatever frame the reference data is expressed in based on the provided ExternalLoads in each contact group.

inlineoverrideprotectedvirtual

You may need to realize the state to the stage required for your calculations.

Do NOT realize to a stage higher than the goal's stage dependency; doing so will cause an exception to be thrown. The Lagrange multipliers for kinematic constraints are not available.

◆ clearProjectionVector()

void OpenSim::MocoContactTrackingGoal::clearProjectionVector ( )
inline

Unset the projection vector.

◆ clone()

MocoContactTrackingGoal* OpenSim::MocoContactTrackingGoal::clone ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

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::MocoGoal.

◆ getClassName()

static const std::string& OpenSim::MocoContactTrackingGoal::getClassName ( )
inlinestatic

This returns "MocoContactTrackingGoal".

See getConcreteClassName() if you want the class name of the underlying concrete object instead.

This is generated by the OpenSim_DECLARE_*_OBJECT macros.

◆ getConcreteClassName()

const std::string& OpenSim::MocoContactTrackingGoal::getConcreteClassName ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Returns the class name of the concrete Object-derived class of the actual object referenced by this Object, as a string.

This is the string that is used as the tag for this concrete object in an XML file. Every concrete class derived from Object automatically overrides this method via the declaration macro it uses. See getClassName() to get the class name of the referencing (possibly abstract) class rather than the concrete object.

Perform any caching before the problem is solved.

You must override this function and invoke setRequirements().

Precondition(s):
The model is initialized (initSystem()) and getModel() is available. The passed-in model is equivalent to getModel(). Use this opportunity to check for errors in user input.

Implements OpenSim::MocoGoal.

◆ printDescriptionImpl()

void OpenSim::MocoContactTrackingGoal::printDescriptionImpl ( ) const

Print a more detailed description unique to each goal.

Reimplemented from OpenSim::MocoGoal.

◆ safeDownCast()

static MocoContactTrackingGoal* OpenSim::MocoContactTrackingGoal::safeDownCast ( OpenSim::Object obj)
inlinestatic

For use in MATLAB and Python to access the concrete class.

Example: cObj = MocoContactTrackingGoal.safeDownCast(obj). This is equivalent to dynamic_cast<MocoContactTrackingGoal*>(obj) in C++.

◆ setExternalLoads()

void OpenSim::MocoContactTrackingGoal::setExternalLoads ( const ExternalLoads extLoads)

Set the ExternalLoads as an object.

This clears the ExternalLoads XML file, if provided.

◆ setExternalLoadsFile()

void OpenSim::MocoContactTrackingGoal::setExternalLoadsFile ( const std::string &  extLoadsFile)

Set the ExternalLoads as an XML file.

This clears the ExternalLoads provided as an object, if one exists.

Examples:
example2DWalking.cpp.

◆ setNormalizeTrackingError()

void OpenSim::MocoContactTrackingGoal::setNormalizeTrackingError ( bool  tf)
inline

Normalize each component of the 3-D tracking error by the peak value of each contact force component in the tracking data.

No normalization is applied when tracking data is close to zero (default: false).

◆ setProjection()

void OpenSim::MocoContactTrackingGoal::setProjection ( std::string  projection)
inline

Set if the force error should be projected onto either a vector or plane.

Possible values: "none" (default), "vector", and "plane".

◆ setProjectionVector()

void OpenSim::MocoContactTrackingGoal::setProjectionVector ( SimTK::Vec3  normal)
inline

Set the vector to use for projecting the force error.

If the projection type is "vector", the force error is projected onto the vector provided here. If the projection type is "plane", the force error is projected onto the plane perpendicular to this vector.
