Metabolic cost, Umberger's configuration and parameters

Post by Arash Mohammadzadeh Gonabadi » Mon Oct 22, 2018 10:58 pm

Hello all,

I was wondering how we can find the best configuration of the Umberger model in OpenSim (negative fiber work included, fiber recruitment model enabled, etc)? And, how can we find the best value for the parameters in the setting (look at the attached pictures)?

Also, do we need to change something in the following code?

Please see the following paper for discussion and references:
