Contact Modeling

Post by Cristina Curreli » Tue Oct 24, 2017 10:26 am

I'm starting to work on contact modeling in OpenSim and I'd like to study the bouncing sphere tutorial (https://simtk.org/projects/contact_osim_u) but I can't open it. Do you know if there is a problem with the file or version (I'm using the 3.3)?

Hi Cristina,

I downloaded the Tutorial files and the problem is likely that if you do the default extraction it ends up with an extremely long path name that contains spaces and special characters. If you rename the folders to a sensible short name (ideally without spaces) then you should have no problem following along.

Please let us know if that solves your issue.
