Inverse Dynamics of emergency brake
Posted: Tue Dec 15, 2020 9:20 am
Hello everyone,
I'm using Gait 2354 to analyse driver's lower body movement during emergency brake. Scaling and IK were done. But I got stuck by Inverse Dynamics with .mot file, since I only have the magnitude of the brake force, but not force position and force direction. Thus, I have to create a .mot file by my self to excute the ID.
So I wanted to use this workaround: create a new Marker on the middle of the ball of foot, which could be assumed to be the contact point on brake pedal, and export its trajectory (in global axis system) as the force position in .mot. Then combine this .mot with the force data.
But I cannot find any option in OpenSim to export trajectory of a marker.
Do I need MATLAB API to do this? Maybe you have a much better solution. Thank you very much.
A picture of my model is attached.
Best regards,
Yanlong
