failed SIMM to Opensim conversion

[Kyle Chadwick]

Trying to convert Deformable Femur Model https://simtk.org/projects/femur-model from SIMM to Opensim and receive this error:

Creation of OpenSim model from C:\Users\kchadwick\Desktop\DeformableFemur\deformFemur2002.jnt failed.

Joint walker_knee cannot be converted to OpenSim because it contains a [function] translation after a rotation.

This looks pretty much exactly like this bug report from 2011:
1546 https://simtk.org/tracker/index.php?fun ... 1&atid=322
but I don't see any resolution. Apparently it worked in 1.9.1, should I just install that old version to do the conversion?

Thanks,

That sounds like a good idea. Not sure about this particular converter or model, but some very old models must be updated using an intermediate version of OpenSim before being opened in 3.3.
