Hi,
I want to add a wrapping surface or wrapping point in a ligament. How can I do that?
Besides, how can I find the direction of the force in the ligament having a wrapping point or wrapping surface?

Thank you.

Hi Zahra,

Wrapping gets handled by GeometryPath(). It is dealt with much like muscles. Doxygen documentation for geometry path can be found here; https://simtk.org/api_docs/opensim/api_ ... yPath.html

There are some plugins developed by the community to get muscle lines of actions; https://simtk.org/home/force_direction

These may help you get the ligament lines of action.

Hello,
according to the documentation I think we cannot set geometry path points of a muscle through C++ code.

Can someone tell the steps of how we can set the path points? For example through the XML file of the model or using the GUI?

Hi James,

Thank you for the response.

Best,
Zahra

Maria,

Can you point to where the documentation says you can't set geometry paths in C++. That is incorrect. You can set anything in the C++.
