Why are they different?
I don't understand all the steps you described, but the OpenSim plotter can be a bit confusing. I recommend saving the results and Analyze Tool outputs to file and plotting elsewhere (Excel, MATLAB, etc.).
I understood that i have to modify tendon slack length in order to move "normalized fiber length" towards the optimal fiber length. Is it right?
The tendon slack length and/or optimal fiber length may need to be adjusted if the passive force is nonzero when it should be zero. Please refer to the documentation and papers on developing and validating musculoskeletal models. You can find some here: https://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu/d ... blications.
