Outputting Contact Forces after Forward Kinematics

Post by Andrew LaPre » Tue Apr 11, 2023 10:59 am

Hello all,

If I have a model with contact forces and run a Forward Kinematics simulation of just the model falling into the ground, is there an easy way to output the contact forces that are calculated during the simulation?

Best,
-Andy

You can add a ForceReporter Analysis to the Forward Kinematics tool. This should output an extra file with all the forces, including the contact forces.
