Is there a working ligament model released yet with OpenSim?

Hi Anne,

There's a Ligament class included with OpenSim distribution and you can use it in your model (by sticking it in the model file wherever a muscle is expected). The doxygen documentation is also included (also at https://simtk.org/api_docs/opensim/api_docs20b/ and search for Ligament). Note that this Ligament is a Force rather than an Actuator.
