Adjust "optimal fiber length" and "tendon slack length"

Post by Jonas Widmer » Wed Mar 02, 2016 8:30 am

Hi all,

I changed muscle pathes of a model. The tendon-muscle-length is now shorter or smaller.
How do I need to adjust the OFL and TSL so that is appropriate? Is it linear?

Thanks, Jonas

Hi Jonas,

you can use this plugin to scale the muscle parameters https://simtk.org/home/opt_muscle_par
you can read the full description in the associated paper http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/ar ... 9015006363
