Is there a way to calculate the forces each muscle is applying in a movement?

Provide easy-to-use, extensible software for modeling, simulating, controlling, and analyzing the neuromusculoskeletal system.

Hi,
Apologies, but I am a little new to OpenSim and biomechanical simulation.

I have done some of the beginner tutorials on Inverse Kinematics and Dynamics. I understand the result of these workflows is the net force and moments of the muscles at each joint, but not the individual forces each muscle at a joint is applying. Is it possible to calculate this?

Please see our documentation page that details many of the OpenSim Workflows: https://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu/d ... +Workflows
