How to Understand Generalized Forces in Inverse Dynamics
Posted: Sat Dec 07, 2024 4:40 am
When using the inverse dynamics tool and excluding muscles, the resulting generalized forces are the same as the torques generated by muscle forces calculated through static optimization.
What components make up the generalized forces calculated in this way?
However, when directly using the inverse dynamics tool, the generalized forces are extremely large. How can this be understood?excludedForces = osim.ArrayStr();
excludedForces.append('Muscles');
idtool.setExcludedForces(excludedForces);

The following figure shows the comparison of results with muscles excluded.import opensim as osim
idtool = osim.InverseDynamicsTool()
idtool.setName("arm")
idtool.setModelFileName("arm26.osim")
idtool.setCoordinatesFileName("arm26_Kinematics_q.sto")
idtool.setStartTime(0)
idtool.setEndTime(1)
idtool.setLowpassCutoffFrequency(6.0)
idtool.setResultsDir(".")
idtool.run()
