Automate plotting of motion

[Thomas Uchida]

is it possible for a c++ program to open OpenSim and run a script?

OpenSim is written in C++, so it would probably make more sense to just implement everything in C++ using the API. The "Introduction to the OpenSim API" section of the documentation on Confluence may be helpful: https://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:8 ... penSim+API.

Ok, how do I create a main program? Do I do it in a separate program like Visual Studio?

[Thomas Uchida]

Please read the "Introduction to the OpenSim API" section of the documentation (linked above). You can find examples in your "resources" directory (e.g., C:\OpenSim4.0\Resources\Code\CPP). You can install the resources by typing installResources() in the GUI's Scripting Shell if you haven't done this already.

How do I run those example files?

Thank you, I was able to open and run a few of the examples.

I am trying to run a .mot file, and I could not find any examples that used .mot files. Do you know what command I could use to run a .mot file after opening a model using the API?

Thank you,
Joel

Is there a way to run a motion file on an existing model using the API? If not, is there a way to directly code the angles for each joint using Visual Studio?
