Problem in using OpenSim tools

[Lixin Sun]

Hello everyone!
I have a problem in using OpenSim tools, I'm not even sure if I can use OpenSim to do my research!
Our lab use the wearable motion capture device to capture human movement, so we don't have marker files.Can I use OpenSim?
In fact, I'm trying using OpenSim and have decided to begin from the ID tool because we can use our own algorithms to get kinematics.
But when I import the data, I have a problem, I don't know how to edit the data.I can't find any materials that can tell me what kind of tags there are in OpenSim.
Furthermore，I don't know if I can use Static Optimization tool, because I don't have any control file,where can I get them?

Editing OpenSIm model is just like I know the type of function parameters, but I don't exactly what kind of arguments I should deliver. Are there any standard documents like MSDN?

Hi Lixin,

Our online documentation pages contain numerous examples and tutorials that would be beneficial to go through; http://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:80 ... +Tutorials

You will be able to use joint angles calculated from your own systems, applying them to a (scaled) model.

You will find a description of the files needed in the user guide; http://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:80 ... %27s+Guide

The distribution also has many motion, force and control files that can be used as templates.

Documentation of the OpenSim classes can be found on the Doxygen page; https://simtk.org/api_docs/opensim/api_docs31/

While a guide to scripting and API calls can be found here; http://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:80 ... evelopment

Hope that helps,
-James

Hello James!
Thank you for your answers!
I'm appreciate it for the links you have posted, it really do help. I think I have missed some part in learning OpenSim and I'll follow the templates to write my own files.

Best regards,
