Static Optimization and Locked Coordinates
Posted: Sun Nov 10, 2013 10:35 am
Hello,
I was hoping to find some information about the effect of locking coordinates on the outcome of static optimization. Specifically, does locking a coordinate exclude it from the optimization solution entirely?
I have observed that the activation of actuators crossing locked coordinates go to a minimum, and there are less constraint violations reported. However, the activation of the muscles of interest (for unlocked coordinates) is similar to when all the coordinates are unlocked.
I just want to try to understand this process better, and to know if I am right to lock the coordinates as I have.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex
