Performance Value while running static optimization

Post by Tom Augenstein » Mon Jun 18, 2018 10:51 am

Dumb question, but while the static optimization tool is running, it outputs a performance value with each time step. What is the performance value actually measuring?

The value of the objective function (the function the optimizer is trying to minimize). See the "How Static Optimization Works" page in the Confluence documentation (https://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu/d ... tion+Works) for a description, and the objectiveFunc() method in StaticOptimizationTarget.cpp (https://github.com/opensim-org/opensim- ... t.cpp#L460) for the code.
