Re: Grid convergence study

I have not. The sensitivity here will be problem-specific, so I think it's best for folks to investigate it on a problem-specific basis.

Re: Range of design variables

Thanks both! That is a nice new feature.

Range of design variables

Hi all, In most simulations that most of us do in Moco, the variables that are optimized (i.e. the "design variables) all vary over a range of approximately [-1, +1], for example muscle excitations, muscle activations, CC lengths, normalized SEC forces, joint angles in radians, etc. In a current sim...

Re: I'm curious about RRA

Hi Soyoung, I would not equate RRA with filtering. There will be non-zero residuals in an inverse dynamics analysis even in a hypothetical situation where the skeletal motion and external forces are measured with perfect accuracy. I recommend the following paper, where the first few paragraphs descr...

Re: Ground Reaction Forces after MocoContactTracking

For example, this morning I started a simulation of walking with a prosthetic limb that adds a degree of freedom (pistoning) between the residual limb and prosthesis. Previously I've been modeling that interface as rigid. As the initial guess for this simulation, I used a previous simulation with th...

Re: Ground Reaction Forces after MocoContactTracking

I second Nick's recommendation to start simple and add complexity from there. When I first started using Moco, I started with the "example2Dwalk" example, which runs fast and converges on a good result. Then I gradually made one change at a time to that model and setup, for example first I changed i...

Re: Final Time Error

I've never seen this one before but from the reference to "resampling" I'm guessing it's something related to the initial guess. My guess would be it's re-sampling the initial guess and somehow getting a final time in the guess of 1.799999999999... or something, when the problem is specifying a fina...

Re: Multicore parallel computing with Moco

Sounds like I should see what the return policy is on the 12-core CPU / 30-core GPU I just bought.

c3dexport.m and filtering

Hi all, I've been using the Matlab script "c3dexport.m" to convert C3D files into TRC and MOT files for AddBiomechanics. Is there a way to replace the data in the osimC3D variable (it's named "c3d" in the code below) with modified data, before writing the data to the TRC and MOT files? Filtering/smo...

Re: Joint Reaction Analysis

Hi Nick, I would use whatever speed the subject(s) in the tracking target data walked at, but I also doubt that an inconsistency there is the source of the hip JCF issue. Various questions below: - What does the overall tracking result look like? Is it tracking the target data fairly well? - What ar...
