Modify existing model

Hi everyone,

I want to know if is possible to modify an existing model through MATLAB removing some muscles and bodies.

In particular I'm interested in modify the Standford VA upper limb model in order to semplify it,
putting all the bones of the fingers in a unique body "hand" and removing the muscles that control fingers' movement
but I don't really know how and if it's possible.

Thank you

Maurice

Yes, you can use the MATLAB interface to edit models. Info and some example scrips can be found on the "Scripting with Matlab" page in the Confluence documentation (https://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:8 ... ith+Matlab). There's also a .zip file on the "Dynamic Walker Competition January 2014" page (https://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:8 ... nuary+2014) that contains some scripts you may find helpful.
