Trouble with adding .vtp file in matlab to model

[Robert Aguilar]

I am trying to add a .vtp to my model and it keeps giving me the error below
No appropriate method, property, or field attachMeshGeometry for class org.opensim.modeling.Body.

Error in GenerateLegworksModel (line 23)
rightShank.attachMeshGeometry('sphere.vtp');

I have tried both addDisplayGeometry(...) and attachMeshGeometry(...)
Our mentors mentiod it the api may have change for opensim 4.0
I am using matlabR2014 and opensim 4.0

In 4.0, you want to try `rightShank.attachGeometry(Mesh('sphere.vtp'))`.

[Robert Aguilar]

awesome that worked but I received an error in my next line which is:
rightShank.getDisplayer().setScaleFactors([PylonLength/10, PylonLength, PylonLength/10]);


same error
No appropriate method, property, or field getDisplayer for class org.opensim.modeling.Body.

Refer to Doxygen to see what function calls you should use in 4.0. https://simtk.org/api_docs/opensim/api_ ... metry.html

Hello,

I'm not sure if you're actually using Sphere or the name of the file happens to be sphere.vtp by accident. If the former, then you can use proper Geometry subclasses (Sphere, Cylinder, Torus, Ellipsoid, Brick) directly rather than using Mesh.

You can check the Doxygen documentation for available primitives and options.

Hope this helps,
