equlibrate muscles, what does it do?

[Joseph Ewing]

All,

I am a little confused as to what the equilibrate muscles call accomplishes. I am using API calls through matlab, when invoking equilibrate mucles, I vaguely understand that it is setting up some consistency at a specific state for the muscles, but I don't really understand fully. Can someone provide more detailed clarification on what this function does?

Thanks.

Muscle::equilibrate() calls computeFiberEquilibriumAtZeroVelocity() under the hood, which computes the fiber length at which the fiber and tendon are in static equilibrium.
