Doing a muscle analysis using your CMC results is typically the way to do that. You could try and add a MuscleAnalysis to a CMC Setup file, you would have to hand edit that into the file since the GUI pane for CMC doesn't have an analysis section. An example of the xml code can be found here

Thanks for the information. Should I mention the name of the path actuator in the <muscle_list>(i.e <muscle_list> Actuator_r<muscle_list>)? When I did that I did not get the results. It gave a file only with time steps, nothing else.
