Hello all, I have just a simple question. I am getting results of arm flexion using both CMC and Static Optimization. And the results are quite different. There is an appreciable difference in muscle activity in both the methods. Which one is more reliable? Which results should I take to be more acc...

Hello, I am trying static optimization for arm flexion of arm26 model in matlab. The procedure through which static optimization goes through is that it first calculates the joint moment at the joint based on the motion file. Then, it does muscle force calculation based on that. Is it possible that ...

Hi all, I am working on using the Integrator of OpenSim API. While I run the following command, manager.integrate(1) ; It means that the underlying equations are being solved multiple times until 1 second time duration is reached. During that time duration, equations are solved and state values are ...

Hello, I am working on interfacing OpenSim with matlab. Currently, I am able to do my work in matlab using scripts in which I import the Opensim library and the required model. But I want to shift the whole thing on Simulink, so that I may be able to interface SimMechanics too. Is there any possibil...

Hello, I need help to use MuscleAnalysis to get elbow moment due to biceps and triceps muscle. I am giving some activation to the biceps muscle set in each loop, and getting the elbow joint position (integration time set to 0.8). How will I be able to get instantaneous joint moment at elbow joint, j...

Thanks Dimitar for your reply. In the given python example, they have run the integrator once, and obtained all the data from the state generated. But in my case, I have to run the integrator for a small time in every loop and get the force data every time, and based on that update control signals g...

Hello, I am trying to run a simple pendulum and calculate reaction forces on ground. I have made a ball of given radius and an arm length of 2.5 and oscillating it directly with respect to ground, under the influence of gravity only. I have run the simulation in a loop, and set the integration time....

Thanks, that worked. I understood what I was doing wrong.

Hello Thomas Uchida, Thanks for your kind attention and reply. In the simple example code, muscle has been controlled but what I want to control here is the PathActuator, which basically creates tension based on the value of it's OptimalForce and the control signal applied to it. I tried giving cont...

Thankyou for your kind attention Ayman Habib.
From now on, I'll be using MeshLab for model import, for avoiding any issue related to mesh. My current problem was solved by using ElasticFoundationForce instead of HuntCrossleyForce.
Thanks
