Initial settle

Before this simulation, the ligament and tendon meshes have been defined from the results of the reference simulation, so there is no overclosure between the ligaments, tendons and other bodies.

The total time for this step is 0.01 seconds.

Interactions

All of the desired interactions are active in this step.
