Re: Colab Import Error

FYI @Antoine I was running into a similar issue recently setting up a new computer to perform the Example.py following the readme on opencap-processing github, but I was having an issue with SciPy importing the gaussian function. Here is the error: (opencap-processing) C:\Users\samner\OneDrive\Docum...

Re: Warning message in CMC V2.4

"WARN- small force range" just means that at that time point in the simulation, the force produced by the muscle is not affected by the activation. In other words, no matter if the activation is 0 or 1, the force produced by the muscle is about the same magnitude. This can happen for two reasons (th...

RE: Explanation of active fiber force

Chris, just a follow up. How are you getting these forces? With the plotter?

RE: Explanation of active fiber force

<t>Hi Chris,<br/> <br/> Someone (e.g., Ayman) might need to correct me, but I am pretty sure that when you do not specify an activation, the analysis the reports active fiber force with an activation of 1 (or fully activated). Might be a bit misleading, but this is intended to give you the max capac...

RE: How to decrease the residual value in RRA?

<r>Yi,<br/> <br/> There are two good places to check out recommendations for improving RRA and CMC results:<br/> <br/> (1) The OpenSim Wiki: <URL url="http://wiki.simtk.org/opensim/">http://wiki.simtk.org/opensim/</URL><br/> (2) The Musculoskeletal Modeler's Kitchen: <URL url="http://wiki.simtk.org/...

RE: Mass adjustments in RRA

<r>Hi Rudi,<br/> <br/> The mass change recommendation from RRA comes from errors in both kinematics (i.e., joint angles from IK) and modeling errors. Even though you total mass may be accurate, the mass distribution among segments of the model might not exactly represent that of your subject, so it ...

RE: Scale Problem

<r>Hi Matthias,<br/> <br/> Below are my responses to your questions:<br/> <br/> Q: "Is this the right way and is the scaled model now adjusted to my subjects anthropometric data?" A: Yes, this sounds like the correct procedure to me....<br/> <br/> Q: "Or should I set more important markers to a high...

RE: MSN Group 4 OpenSim, invite more guys to join

<r>Hi Yi,<br/> <br/> Great enthusiasm! It is fantastic that you want to create a place for others to share their successes and challenges with OpenSim.<br/> <br/> You might also want to check out a new project recently started by Edith Arnold called The Musculoskeletal Modeler's Kitchen, which is al...

RE: Scale Problem

<r>Hi Matthias,<br/> <br/> I have seen this problem too, usually because it's difficult to place the virtual markers on the feet of the model in exactly the place as on your subject. To get around this, I usually take a photo of the sagittal view my subject during the static pose to estimate the ank...
