Hello,
I'd like to know something about "Bushing force". What is the main function of this kind of force, how to use this force under the model, that is, how to add this force to the force. I look forward to your reply.

Hi Paul,

Please consult the Doxygen documentation (for version 4.2) here
https://simtk.org/api_docs/opensim/api_ ... l#_details
or follow the Help ->Doxygen link from the application/GUI and search for BushingForce

The model file contains a "ForceSet" tag under which all the forces are placed, if you add an XML block for a BushingForce there, it will be added to the model. The xml syntax can be found using the (Help-> XML Browser -> BushingForce) selection in the OpenSim application/GUI.

Hope this helps,
-Ayman
