Scale Tool enforcing static pose

Using the Gait2354 model, I'm playing around with the marker positions to see how it changes the resulting scaled model. I tried shifting the knee markers far forward (R.Knee.Med and R.Knee.Lat 30 cm in the positive x-direction), but for some reason the resulting model has a knee angle of (exactly) ...

CMC activation hitting max for gait2354 during walking

I'm running CMC with the gait2354 model using the kinematics, ground reaction force, CMC Task, CMC constraint, and CMC Actuators files provided with the model. However, when CMC completes, the gluteus medius, the medial gastroc, and the tibialis anterior are all nearing full activation at several in...

Re: residual/reserve actuators in CMC Tool

Yes, and I've been following those example files. However, one model I've been working with (https://simtk.org/projects/upexdyn), does not supply its own actuators.xml file but does supply a controlConstraints.xml file. I'm confused as to why they did this because I was under the impression that the...

residual/reserve actuators in CMC Tool

For the CMC tool, do you create reserve/residual actuators from the control constraints .xml file or are the actuator created from the actuators .xml file and then their parameters are specified in the control constraints .xml. I read the confluence documentation on it but its a little confusing.

Shut down opensim connection

Is there a way to effectively shut down the API after use? For example, MATLAB won't let me delete the out.log files after my program finishes unless I close MATLAB and then reopen it. I assume this is the case because opensim is still connected to this file.

Re: Marker clusters in Opensim

I'm not too sure what the methods of a class like that would be, maybe features like getRoll(), getPitch(), getYaw(), etc. or just commands that take advantage of the unique properties that a defined cluster offers over individual markers. Also, a sort of cluster structure library of OpenSim-provide...

Marker clusters in Opensim

Is there a way to incorporate marker clusters (rather than individual markers) into a marker set i.e. define a cluster object or class?

Integration time limits CMC

Is there a recommended time length that CMC can run for? I've been finding that if I run CMC for long (42 seconds) data segments, it will eventually fail to reach a solution at some time point. However, if I move the beginning of the CMC time window up, it succeeds in finding a solution at the same ...

Set .mot file of External load applied during CMC

I have a generic .xml external load file that I wish to use on several different iterations of CMC. For each iteration, I want to start a new CMCTool(setup), included in the setup file is the .xml external load file. I then want to pick a specific externalForce.mot file for the given trial. I have t...
