Developing Fatigable Muscle Code in MATLAB

[Shivangi Giri]

Hi,
I wanted to add fatigue to muscles using Fatigable Muscle class through a MATLAB code. When I try to access the FatigableMuscle() in MATLAB, it throws an error saying no such class found. I suspect this is due to MATLAB's limited access to OpenSim's library.
Has anyone here tried to incorporate muscle fatigue in OpenSim through MATLAB?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Shivangi

You could compile the class into a plugin (see the "Creating Plugins" https://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu/d ... ng+Plugins and "Using Plugins" https://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu/d ... ng+Plugins pages in the Confluence documentation).

Thank you Thomas for your suggestions.
But can I achieve this directly with MATLAB, without creating a plugin?

There is no Fatigable Muscle class in OpenSim so you cannot call it anywhere, including Matlab. If you want to build your own fatigue muscle model, you would have to write it in C++ and compile as a plugin.

OK. Got it. Thank you James.

You might investigate whether you can use the FatigableMuscleModel_PlugIn available here:
- SimTK project page: "Developing a fatigable muscle model", https://simtk.org/projects/fatigablemuscle
- Description: "Design of a Fatigable Muscle", https://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:8 ... ble+Muscle
