Example: Specifying External Loads in Tutorial 3

Post by Jennifer Hicks » Wed Nov 23, 2011 10:26 am

OpenSim 2.4 has a new process for applying external loads that is more flexible, but requires an additional setup step. In some installations of OpenSim 2.4, the External Loads setup file used in Tutorial 3 may be missing. If so, you can generate this file using the steps in the attached PDF.

You can also download the setup file from the OpenSim downloads page:
https://simtk.org/project/xml/downloads.xml?group_id=91.
You will find the file under the OpenSim Heading -> Documentation Links -> Tutorials.

To generate external loads setup files from standard GRF data you can also try the Matlab scripts generated by Sam Hamner. They are available for download on the OpenSim Utilities page:

Scroll down to "External Loads File Script"
