Using simBody classes with OpenSim in matlab

Hello Everyone,

Is there any way I can use SimBody classes like PathSpring, CablePath, ContactForce, etc. through its API along with OpenSim API in Matlab.
For example, I would like to set a cable with PathSpring (using SimBody API) between arm and forearm of arm26 model(using OpenSim API). Is that possible in matlab?

Thanks,
Ratna

Hello,

Some of the classes you referred to are actually OpenSim classes rather than simbody, the classes available are documented here
https://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu/d ... ng+Doxygen

Generally we expose to Matlab simbody classes that are used for interfacing with OpenSim (e.g. Vectors, Vec3, SimbodyMatterSubsystem, State,..) but not classes that are used internally.

If there's a specific use-case or simbody functionality that you believe is missing from the interface please let us know so we can point you in the right direction.

Best regards,
-Ayman
