not accurate results from Moco Track
Hello,
I am trying to track experimental data (markers) and get the motion but compared with the inverse solution the result is far off.
I am using OpenSim 4.2 and python upgraded to 4.3 same results. however, tested the same code on a computer with OpenSim 4.1 gave me much better results.
does anyone know how I can fix this
appreciate your help

Re: not accurate results from Moco Track
Hi Mohammad,
Do you mean that the muscle activations are different, or the kinematics? And how are they different?
Results from a tracking problem can be quite different from an inverse problem depending on what the tracking solution kinematics and ground reaction forces look like.

Re: not accurate results from Moco Track
Thank you for your reply.
let me explain more. So i plotted the results of the same code solved with opensim_moco integrated 4.2 and 4.3 and also previous version of moco when it was not integrated with opensim i believe the version for it is 0.4.
the results for tracking of moco 0.4 is about the same as inverse solution whereas the results of 4.3 and 4.2 are vastly different and inaccurate.
in terms of computation time in 4.3 and 4.2 it is much less which i think some connection between the solver and moco and/or opensim and/or python is broken. as can be seen from the results it didnt solve anything:

Re: not accurate results from Moco Track
Hi Mohammad,
I'm still not sure what you mean by "vastly different and inaccurate" when referring to the solutions using 4.2 and 4.3. The plot you included seems to only compare solutions when using Moco 0.4. Various changes have been implemented in Moco since we merged the codebase into OpenSim. As a result, some of the examples may behave slightly differently. For example, Moco 0.4 had an issue where muscle paths were not being converted correctly when replacing muscles with the DeGrooteFregly2016Muscle; that has been fixed in 4.2 and 4.3 and might change the results in the MocoTrack examples.
If you're looking for better tracking of the ankle angle, you might need to just increase the tracking weight for that joint in the MocoStateTrackingGoal.

Re: not accurate results from Moco Track
Hi ,
thanks again for your help and time.
So I included two plot please also take a look at the other one that i compared same code solved by different versions
so when I mentioned track only I commented out other goals. it is just tracking and i think the weight of the tracking doesn't make any difference

Re: not accurate results from Moco Track
Hi Mohammad,
Sorry, I didn't see the other file. The ankle angle for 4.3 seems fixed at a constant value. Are you sure the ankle coordinate isn't locked?

Re: not accurate results from Moco Track
Hi Nick,
Thank you so much for your time and help.
yes I'm sure that is not locked. I used the same everything only different versions of moco.
As i told you before when i simulate it with newer version it takes very little time to give me the results which i think the reason is it doesnt solve it at all. on the other hand with moco 0.4 it takes like 10 times more to solve.
this made me think maybe some connections with the solver is broken. or some incompatible package is the reason.
we tried on a different computer with opensim 4.2 result were not correct either on that.
i uploaded the model im using for your referance

Re: not accurate results from Moco Track
one other thing I wanted to mention is that. the model is scaled and the platform motion is prescribed using an older version of OpenSim (4.1).
however, I don't know if it's something important
