Units for setQ [SOLVED]

Post by Benjamin Michaud » Wed Oct 24, 2018 12:39 pm

Hello!

I am getting Q from a mot file produced by inverse kinematics. The values are given in degrees. I just wanted to be sure that when I populate the state using the state.setQ(Q) method [in python], it actually waits for degrees and not radian.

If it waits for radian, is there a function that converts them to the proper units?

Thanks!

Rotational generalized coordinates should be in radians. You can use Model.getSimbodyEngine().convertDegreesToRadians().
