This is a very short, very high-level question regarding the API.

Is it possible to perform the whole workflow (see attached image) using just the API? Also found here: http://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:80 ... m+Workflow

Hi,

Yes, more than possible and gives you better control over your simulation choices. Although you will need to write a lot of code and if you are not so familiar with the OpenSim/Simbody philosophy you will need some time. What you can also do is call the individual tools through scripting (Matlab, python) with the appropriate steup.xml files or manually alter them.

Good luck!

Ah sorry, I meant to say; can you do the whole workflow through scripting? That is what I would like to do, am I am very familiar with opensim now, so hoping that the whole thing should be quite fast.

Hi Neil,

some pipeline to prepare and batch process motion capture data in OpenSim already exist. If you are happy to use Matlab, take a look at https://simtk.org/projects/motonms for data preparation and https://simtk.org/projects/bops for batch processing inverse kinematics, inverse dynamics, muscle analysis, and static optimisation. Scaling is not included though.

Cheers
