Add more DOF to default model

SCONE is a software tool for predictive simulations of biomechanical movement. It uses OpenSim for modeling and simulation, and performs optimization using various control strategies, including feed-forward control, proprioceptic feedback control, and bal

Welcome, David!

You can add as many DOFs and muscles to the models as you want -- any OpenSim model should work in SCONE as well. However, you may need to adjust the Controller depending on what task you are trying to achieve.

For instance, the Geyer & Herr gait controller that's included in the Tutorials is catered specifically for 9 DOF / 14 muscle planar models.

I get it your point. I had seen several opensim models but I was not sure.

Where can i found more information about it? I read Geyer & Heyer article and I understand the main idea of reflex controller but I think it is not enough

Thank you again

If you want to know more about how models and controllers work in SCONE, check out:

It's also very helpful to try the SCONE tutorials (especially tutorial 4):

Let me know if you have any specific questions!
