Detailed Description

This class serves as a serializable ActiveForceLengthCurve, commonly used to model the active element in muscle models.

The active-force-length curve is dimensionless: force is normalized to maximum isometric force and length is normalized to resting fiber length. Five properties are used to construct a curve:

Parameters

minActiveNormFiberLength	The normalized fiber length where the steep ascending limb of the active-force-length curve transitions to the minimum value and has first and second derivatives of 0.
transitionNormFiberLength	The normalized fiber length where the steep ascending limb transitions to the shallow ascending limb.
maxActiveNormFiberLength	The normalized fiber length where the descending limb transitions to the minimum value and has first and second derivatives of 0.
shallowAscendingSlope	The slope of the shallow ascending limb.
minimumValue	The minimum value of the active-force-length curve. If you are using an equilibrium model, this value must be greater than 0, as a value of 0 will cause a singularity in the muscle dynamic equations.

Conditions

0 < minActiveNormFiberLength < transitionNormFiberLength < 1 < maxActiveNormFiberLength
0 <= shallowAscendingSlope < 1/(1-transitionNormFiberLength)
0 <= minimumValue

Default Parameter Values The default parameters have been chosen so that the resulting curve closely matches the active-force-length curve for human sarcomeres, as documented by Nigg and Herzog (1994). The descending limb has been adjusted to match the in-vitro human fiber data reported by Gollapudi and Lin (2009). The default shoulder value is set to 0.1. This relatively large value is used to ensure that muscle model dynamic equations with an active-force-length singularity do not take an unreasonable amount of time to simulate (simulation time grows as the value of the active-force-length curve approaches 0). Muscle model formulations that do not have this singularity (e.g., the Millard2012AccelerationMuscle model) can use a minimumValue of 0.

minActiveNormFiberLength ..... 0.4441
transitionNormFiberLength .... 0.73
maxActiveNormFiberLength ..... 1.8123
shallowAscendingSlope ........ 0.8616
minimumValue ................. 0.1

Example

ActiveForceLengthCurve falCurve1(0.44, 0.73, 1.8, 0.86, 0.1);
double falVal  = falCurve1.calcValue(1.0);
double dfalVal = falCurve1.calcDerivative(1.0, 1);

Note that this object should be updated through the set methods provided. These set methods will take care of rebuilding the curve correctly. If you modify the properties directly, the curve will not be rebuilt, and upon calling a function like calcValue, calcDerivative, or printCurveToCSVFile, an exception will be thrown because the curve is out-of-date with its properties.

Member Function Documentation

◆ assign()

void OpenSim::ActiveForceLengthCurve::assign ( Object & aObject )

inlineoverride

This allows copy assignment in the Java GUI.

Exceptions

Exception if the argument is not of type ActiveForceLengthCurve.

◆ calcDerivative() [1/2]

double OpenSim::ActiveForceLengthCurve::calcDerivative	(	double	normFiberLength,
		int	order
	)		const

Calculates the derivative of the active-force-length multiplier with respect to the normalized fiber length.

Parameters

normFiberLength	The normalized length of the muscle fiber.
order	The order of the derivative. Only values of 0, 1, and 2 are acceptable.

Returns: The derivative of the active-force-length curve with respect to the normalized fiber length.

◆ calcDerivative() [2/2]

double OpenSim::ActiveForceLengthCurve::calcDerivative	(	const std::vector< int > &	derivComponents,
		const SimTK::Vector &	x
	)		const

overridevirtual

If possible, use the simpler overload above.

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Function.

◆ calcValue() [1/2]

double OpenSim::ActiveForceLengthCurve::calcValue ( const SimTK::Vector & x ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Implement the generic OpenSim::Function interface.

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Function.

◆ calcValue() [2/2]

double OpenSim::ActiveForceLengthCurve::calcValue ( double normFiberLength ) const

Evaluates the active-force-length curve at a normalized fiber length of 'normFiberLength'.

◆ calcValueAndDerivative()

SmoothSegmentedFunction::ValueAndDerivative OpenSim::ActiveForceLengthCurve::calcValueAndDerivative ( double normFiberLength ) const

Evaluates the active-force-length curve value and derivative at a normalized fiber length of 'normFiberLength'.

◆ clone()

ActiveForceLengthCurve* OpenSim::ActiveForceLengthCurve::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::Function.

This is generated by the OpenSim_DECLARE_*_OBJECT macros.

◆ getConcreteClassName()

const std::string& OpenSim::ActiveForceLengthCurve::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.

See also: getClassName()

Implements OpenSim::Function.

◆ getCurveDomain()

SimTK::Vec2 OpenSim::ActiveForceLengthCurve::getCurveDomain ( ) const

◆ getShallowAscendingSlope()

double OpenSim::ActiveForceLengthCurve::getShallowAscendingSlope ( ) const

Returns: The slope of the shallow ascending limb (d active_force_length / d normalized_fiber_length).

◆ getTransitionFiberLength()

This function is not const to permit the curve to be rebuilt if it is out-of-date with its properties.

Parameters

path	The full destination path. Note that forward slashes ('/') must be used and there should not be a slash after the last folder.

The file will contain the following data:

column: 1 | 2 |     3 |       4
  data: x | y | dy/dx | d2y/dx2

Samples will be taken from the linear extrapolation region (the region less than minActiveNormFiberLength), through the curve, out to the other linear extrapolation region (the region greater than maxActiveNormFiberLength). The width of each linear extrapolation region is 10% of the curve domain, or 0.1*(maxActiveNormFiberLength-minActiveNormFiberLength). The curve is sampled quite densely: the active-force-length .csv file will have 500+20 rows.

Example To read the .csv file into Matlab, you need to set csvread to ignore the header row. Since csvread is 0-indexed, the following example will begin reading the .csv file from the first column of the second row:

data = csvread('bicepsfemoris_ActiveForceLengthCurve.csv', 1, 0);

◆ safeDownCast()

static ActiveForceLengthCurve* OpenSim::ActiveForceLengthCurve::safeDownCast ( OpenSim::Object * obj )

inlinestatic

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

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

◆ set_max_norm_active_fiber_length()

void OpenSim::ActiveForceLengthCurve::set_max_norm_active_fiber_length ( const double & value )

inline

Set the value of the max_norm_active_fiber_length property.

◆ set_min_norm_active_fiber_length()

void OpenSim::ActiveForceLengthCurve::set_min_norm_active_fiber_length ( const double & value )

inline

Set the value of the min_norm_active_fiber_length property.

◆ set_minimum_value()

void OpenSim::ActiveForceLengthCurve::set_minimum_value ( const double & value )

inline

Set the value of the minimum_value property.

◆ set_shallow_ascending_slope()

void OpenSim::ActiveForceLengthCurve::set_shallow_ascending_slope ( const double & value )

inline

Set the value of the shallow_ascending_slope property.

◆ set_transition_norm_fiber_length()

void OpenSim::ActiveForceLengthCurve::set_transition_norm_fiber_length ( const double & value )

inline

Set the value of the transition_norm_fiber_length property.

◆ setActiveFiberLengths()

void OpenSim::ActiveForceLengthCurve::setActiveFiberLengths	(	double	minActiveNormFiberLength,
		double	transitionNormFiberLength,
		double	maxActiveNormFiberLength,
		double	shallowAscendingSlope
	)

Parameters

minActiveNormFiberLength	The normalized fiber length where the steep ascending limb of the active-force-length curve transitions to the minimum value and has first and second derivatives of 0.
transitionNormFiberLength	The normalized fiber length where the steep ascending limb transitions to the shallow ascending limb.
maxActiveNormFiberLength	The normalized fiber length where the descending limb transitions to the minimum value and has first and second derivatives of 0.
shallowAscendingSlope	The slope of the shallow ascending limb.

Conditions

0 < minActiveNormFiberLength < transitionNormFiberLength < 1 < maxActiveNormFiberLength
0 <= shallowAscendingSlope < 1/(1-transitionNormFiberLength)

◆ setMinValue()

void OpenSim::ActiveForceLengthCurve::setMinValue ( double minimumValue )

Parameters

minimumValue The minimum value of the active-force-length curve. If you are using an equilibrium model, this value must be greater than 0, as a value of 0 will cause a singularity in the muscle dynamic equations.

◆ upd_max_norm_active_fiber_length()

double& OpenSim::ActiveForceLengthCurve::upd_max_norm_active_fiber_length ( )

inline

Get a writable reference to the max_norm_active_fiber_length property.
