Muscles only on one side of the body
Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2012 3:57 am
Hi,
I have a question concerning the movement of the model which has muscles only in one half of the body – more concretely – I am working with the “head and neck” model from Vasavada, and there are muscles only on the right side of the body (head and neck). How will the results be influenced by this? I want to do the static optimization – to compute muscle forces - for the prescribed movement. Do I have to add the muscles also to the other side? Or there is something like “symmetrical solution”??
Thank you for any advice
