Arm model with modified muscles

Hello,

I am looking for an arm model with Deltoids, Brachialis, Bicep, and tricep muscles.
I got two arm-models.
1. Dynamic arm simulator model: https://simtk.org/projects/das
2. Upper extremity dynamic model: https://simtk.org/projects/upexdyn

Is there any arm model which have the Thelen muscle model for the above-mentioned muscles?

Both of these models use the Schutte muscle model. But we want to use the Thelen muscle model.
If I edit the .osim file and replace the Schutte's muscle model with Thelen's muscle model, will there be any validation related problem?
Another thing is, if I create muscles on an existing skeleton model, how to validate the overall final model?


Thanks,
Rahid
