residual/reserve actuators in CMC Tool

Post by Tom Augenstein » Mon Aug 27, 2018 12:07 pm

For the CMC tool, do you create reserve/residual actuators from the control constraints .xml file or are the actuator created from the actuators .xml file and then their parameters are specified in the control constraints .xml. I read the confluence documentation on it but its a little confusing.

There are example files in your OpenSim installation directory (e.g., C:\OpenSim 3.3\Models\Gait2392_Simbody).

Yes, and I've been following those example files. However, one model I've been working with (https://simtk.org/projects/upexdyn), does not supply its own actuators.xml file but does supply a controlConstraints.xml file. I'm confused as to why they did this because I was under the impression that the control constraints.xml sets constraints on the actuators specified in the actuators.xml file, and if that is the case then this model is missing a file.
