perscribed motion for a cycling gait with the inverse kinematics tool

Post by Rudolf deS onnaville » Sun Jun 13, 2021 4:08 am

we are trying to get a perscribed motion for a cycling gait with the inverse kinematics tool. We did manage to generate a .mot file for this and a .trc file but the weights are set to 0. It gives us an error when we try to run it and we are not sure how to fix this problem. Do you have an idea on how to run this properly?

kind regards, rudolf

Hi Rudolf,

Not sure what you mean by needing a "prescribed motion". The job of Inverse Kinematics (IK) is to calculate motion (joint angle trajectory). Once done you have a motion (possibly saved in .mot) as you described. Generally in solving IK, a zero weight means to ignore the specific marker or coordinates.
Please check the documentation page for IK here:

Hope this helps,
