Questions about applying external force
Posted: Mon Nov 29, 2021 6:29 am
Hello, I'm new to Opensim. I want to apply external force on my model. I tried your method in another topic and encountered with following questions:
1. What's the meaning of "Force Columns" and "Point Columns" in "Edit External Force" window respectively? What are their differences?
2. In tutoiral 3, when I looked at walk_grf.xml (containing the external loads applied to the model as a set of ExternalForce(s)), I noticed a variable "constraint_weight" at the beginning of the file. What's the function of this variable? Does it mean the maximum weight can be applied?
3. In scale tool, under "setting" tab, there are three rows of boxes. I'm confused with the meaning of these boxes. Is there any document I can find an explanation?
Best wishes!
