Static Optimization freezes
Posted: Wed May 31, 2017 12:02 pm
Hello,
I try to compute contact knee forces and compare them to in vivo forces for many gaits. As I try to get a more subject-specific model in order to make better predictions, I use the more complex model created in this paper http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/ar ... 9014007179. This one takes into account the fact that the patient has a varum-valgus knee and provide two contact points (medial and lateral) at the knee.
I tried to do some computation with the datas given in this following link https://simtk.org/projects/kneeloads.
I was doing a IK and ID analysis in a static gait, the results were quite good. I tried to go further and do a static optimization. After specifying the Ground reaction forces and the kinematics from the IK, I hit the button run and the interface start to freeze and nothing is computed.
Is it because of the constraints condition of the model (weld constraint of the medial condyle in the tibia plate) and i have to specify something else in the SO ?
An other question, the SO solver need both the kinematics and the GRF to compute muscle forces, this means the SO solver is doing a ID analysis before computing muscle forces ? Thus why not directly put ID results as an input ?
Thanks
