Trajectory(.trc) from .mot file

Post by In Bae Chung » Mon Aug 19, 2019 10:17 am

Hi, everyone.

I have a .mot file but not a .trc file for a certain motion. I was wondering if it's possible to obtain .trc file from .mot file, or trajectory of a certain marker from a .mot file. Any help would be really appreciated.

Best,
In Bae Chung

You can perform PointKinematics analysis using the AnalyzeTool in the GUI.

I was able to obtain trajectory of a marker using Point Kinematics.
However, the numbers are very small compared to the numbers I would get from a .trc file and doesn't match at all.
Does the trajectory from Point Kinematics and .trc file have a different coordinate system?
I wonder if there's a another way to convert an existing .mot file into a .trc file.

Thank you.

The results from OpenSim are in meters. Probably, the .trc file is in millimetres. You can check by inspecting the header file of the .trc file.
