Lateral meniscus slides off the cartilage?!

Overall purposes of the project are:

1) To provide free access to a three-dimensional finite element representation of the knee joint

2) Open development of a knee model for collaborative testing and use

Lateral meniscus slides off the cartilage?!

Hi there!

After opening the tf_joint.plt that comes with the openknee package, it was my suprise that soon after flexion (~t =1.5 s) the lateral menicus literally slides off the tibial cartilage surface. Shouldn't the meniscus be always fixed to the cartilage?

Best regards,
