Induced acceleration

Hi there,
I'm using induced acceleration analysis in OpenSim 4.0. Does anyone know how to calculate muscle contribution to ground reaction forces? It seems the tool just gives muscle contribution to center of mass and joint acceleration. Any suggestion?? Thanks!

Hi,
I am having a similar problem where IAA gives me the following error:

"Performing Induced Accelerations Analysis
time = 0.41
External force expressedInBody ground not found.

Exception:
ArrayPtrs.get: Array index out of bounds".



I am sharing my setup file here. Please let me know if there is something wrong with it:
