getworkingstate() and get a state at a specific time ?

Dear All:
What is the meaning of Model::getworkingstate() ? How to use it ?

What is the meaning of Model::getworkingstate() ?

Please see the API documentation here: https://simtk.org/api_docs/opensim/api_ ... ebb8f8f7cc. In most cases, you can probably just hold onto the State returned by initSystem():

Code: Select all

//C++
State& s = myModel.initSystem();

%MATLAB
s = myModel.initSystem();

Hi Dr. Uchida:
Sorry for the late reply! Hence, we can get the state at a specific time step using "initSystem" API ?

Best regards

initSystem() constructs the underlying computational system from scratch; it's very inefficient to call initSystem() repeatedly. An appropriate strategy for reading the State at a particular instant of time depends on the application. Perhaps the easiest strategy would be to run the entire simulation first and then read in the results.
