I have provided control_43_p_r for path actuator. Why we provide this controller for path actuator? What is the significance ? I need to understand why we provide this controller only.
If there is another controller in Opensim and which gives me good result then please suggest me.
Please help
Thanks.

Re: why we provide control_43_p_r for path actuator
Respected Sir ,
When we provide path actuator to the model then we provide actuator constraints to the model. Here I have provided control_43p_r means actuator actuation start at 43% of the gait cycle. But I don't know why I provided actuator actuation at 43% of the gait cycle.
How and on what basis should I provide controller?
How I confirm to provide actuator control or actuation at 43% or something else? What is the reason to provide controller at particular % of gait cycle.
Please Help.
Thanks
