Cannot load motion file

Post by Barbora Dvořáková » Thu Feb 04, 2021 12:21 pm

Hello, I am having a problem loading my motion file into OpenSim. I am loading a motion file exported from Visual3D and even though I have made sure to fulfill all of the necessities, a dialog saying that my motion file cannot be loaded is still popping up.

Could anyone help me with this? I have tried to redo my skeleton model in the Visula3D multiple times but nothing seems to work.

Thank you so much.

I cannot load the image here but it says:
"Could not read motion file" and the placement of the file, that in my case is called Visual3d_SIMM_input.mot

Thank you so much.

These are the necessities that have to be meet for running the Visual3d file in the OpenSimm https://c-motion.com/v3dwiki/index.php? ... enSim_Demo

Hello,

The fact that the message says that OpenSim cannot read the motion file suggests the error has nothing to do with the contents of the file but rather with where it is located. If the file path contains non ascii-US characters or is too long this could be the issue. To test, copy the file to a folder near the top of your directory structure (e.g. C:/test/) and try to open it from there.

Let us know how it goes,
-Ayman
