addController made error in calling Manager

[Hide Kimpara]

Hello Experts,

I made a simple framework for our simple sample model. But I have still issues.

I have 3 issues.

1) adding actuator into osimModel made an error in calling Manager.
Once I defined a PrescribedController, then I added it with addController method as this:

Code: Select all

osimModel.addController(ActuatorController);

Then I got an error when I call Manager:

Code: Select all

K>> simulationManager = Manager(osimModel);
Java exception occurred:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Component has no underlying System.
You must call initSystem() on the top-level Component (i.e. Model) first.
	In object 'TwoLinkArm' of type Model.
	In file C:\opensim-core-source\OpenSim\Common\Component.cpp:784
	In function 'getStateVariableNames'

	at org.opensim.modeling.opensimSimulationJNI.new_Manager__SWIG_1(Native Method)

	at org.opensim.modeling.Manager.<init>(Manager.java:43)

2) setPropertiesFromState.
As my previous post (viewtopicPhpbb.php?f=1398&t=8360), setPropertiesFromState made serious crash. Only executing this method made MATLAB crash.

3) a series of Reporter belonging Analysis, such as ForceReporter.
Even I could not manage time intervals for ForceReporter, I plan to use it to monitor forces in MATLAB. However, these stored data did not export recorded data into sto files. I am wondering ForceReporter is still storing data in 4.0.

This time, I attach my sample MATLAB codes for convenience.
Your suggestions are very helpful for us.

Thank you,
Hide

You must call `initSystem()` before constructing the Manager:

Code: Select all

osimModel.initSystem();
simulationManager = Manager(osimModel);

Try using the methods `getForceStorage()`, `getForcesTable()`, or `printResults()` on ForceReporter.

Hello Christopher,

Thank you for your suggestion and very prompt response.

You must call `initSystem()` before constructing the Manager:

Calling 'initSystem()' allowed me to use Manager with addController. I don't know the reason of second calling 'initSystem', but it works!

In the meanwhile, MATLAB has frozen again during the run-time. Then I enforced to exit MATLAB. However, I got another error of Java exception at calling s.getQ, again... In case of this kind error, what is the best solution for recovery?

Code: Select all

Error using main_20171026 (line 117)
Java exception occurred:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.opensim.modeling.Vector

	at org.opensim.modeling.State.getQ(State.java:339)

After recovery, I'd like to try other methods for storage.

Thank you,
Hide

Hide,

Can you provide the code snippet causing the crash/Exception so we can help?

Thank you,

Dear Ayman,

I don't know what is the code snippet in MATLAB. So far, I published "main_20171026.m" and zipped into published_html.zip.
Is it good for seek some error causes?

Can you provide the code snippet causing the crash/Exception so we can help?

Thank you,
Hide

Hide,

Sorry I didn't expect to see the code in html file but I found it!.

I don't know if the model you have contains constraints but it's probably safer to call

osimModel.realizeVelocity(osimState)

before asking for the Qs and Us.

Ideally you get a meaningful error message but I'm not sure if that gets passed out properly in Matlab.

If you can send the m file instead of html in the future that would be better so we can refer to line numbers.

Please let me know how that goes,
-Ayman

Dear Ayman,

Thank you so much for your suggestion. I will use realizeVelocity method before calling Qs or Us.

Sorry I didn't expect to see the code in html file but I found it!.

I don't know if the model you have contains constraints but it's probably safer to call

osimModel.realizeVelocity(osimState)

before asking for the Qs and Us.

The code was already attached on the first post. But in case I past it as raw.

But the Java exception error has not removed even I used realizeVelocity method. I assume a fatal access might break serious part of OpenSim 4.0.
The first time, I found when I used setPropertiesFromState.
Then this time, I got similar error when the MATLAB had too much memory usage(?).

Have you ever had similar error like this?

Hide,

I had no problem loading the model, setting Coordinate (Value, SpeedValue) and then calling getQ, getU.

This suggests that there's nothing fundamentally wrong with your API usage, I just didn't follow your book-keeping to keep names in cells etc.

In fact I just stepped through your code as provided below and had no crashes or exceptions until I called
ForwardOsimFunction_171026(time_start,time_end,params,InitStruct); which I don't think is related.

I think the line

Code: Select all

if (strcmp(InitStruct.StateLabl(j),AA.getitem(k)))

needs to be

Code: Select all

if (strcmp(InitStruct.StateLabl(j),AA.getitem(k-1)))

[Hide Kimpara]

Hello Ayman,

Thank you so much for taking your time. I feel happy that main_YYYYMMDD.m has no significant errors in current.


Hello Tom,

Thank you for notification. I checked the stateStorage.getColumnLabels. Since this labels start by "time" and name of state variables follows. Therefore, getitem(k) can work in this case.


Thank you and Best regards,
Hide
