Output Hunt-Crossley contact forces
Posted: Fri Nov 12, 2010 11:48 am
Hi,
I want to evaluate the knee contact forces using different contact force models.
Therefore, firstly I modeled the knee contact forces as elastic foundation forces.
To output these forces, I ran a force reporter, which gave me information about passive muscles forces and contact forces.
After that, I did the same using the Hunt-Crossley model.
However, at the force report, I only got the passive forces. Why this happens? Is there any other way to output the contact forces using the Hunt-Crossley force model?
Thanks for all help.
