Force Reporter tool

Post by Cristina Curreli » Tue Oct 24, 2017 10:18 am

I am using the force reporter tool to find the forces at a constraint. Is there the possibility to select the reference frame in which the reactions are expressed?

Unfortunately, I do not think this is possible in 3.3. You would have to use MATLAB/Python/GUI scripting to transform the forces yourself afterwards using the SimbodyEngine class. Alternatively, you could change the joint definition.

Choosing the reference frame will be easier in 4.0.
