Model for analysis of Backpack

Post by Kanishk Sood » Sun Sep 10, 2017 10:50 pm

Hello, everyone!
I am a new user of OpenSim and currently working on the analysis of backpacks on the human body. I wish to know that which model I can use to run the simulations by incorporating the backpack CAD model into the OpenSim model and analyse its effects on muscles and joints of upper body as well as lower body.
Thank you!
