Dear Priti, I'm afraid I don't have any photos to show you at the moment and can only refer you to Figure 1 of the Competition data description document, which you have seen already. I think the issue you are having may be partly related to the scaling process itself. Sometimes you have to iterate o...

Make sure you added all your additional library directories, additional include directories, and additional dependencies (.lib files)

That is correct. Each model can only have one default pose.

What happens if you delete the muscle altogether, and try to run it?

Some ideas: 1) Could gravity be extending the fingers? Or any other force? 2) Do your joints have default initial generalized speeds larger than zero, which initially extend the fingers? 3) Have you tried using simple pathActuators instead of muscles? The simulation speed problem could be due to ver...

It seems to me like this is a machine precision issue. 1e-14 could be considered zero (epsilon), as far as PC simulation goes.

You can simply edit an existing model by changing the xml (.osim) directly.

Sina, I'm not sure if this will help you but I'm attaching an example Matlab command which I use to compile a mex file for my OpenSim application. Perhaps you can adapt it to match your needs. First cpp file is contains mex function. Other cpp files contains other needed code. -L indicate library lo...

I had the same "matrix is singular" problem but running forward dynamics. The problem was that I had muscles in my model but hadn't specified a control for them. Removing the unused muscles solved the problem.

Hi. I'm trying to run inverse dynamics from the Matlab API for a single time frame (e.g. time t1). I want to specify the generalized coordinates and their first and second order time derivatives at time t1, plus the value of external forces acting on time t1, and obtain the inverse dynamics loads fo...
