Force reporter reference frames

Post by Sarah Wohlman » Thu Jun 06, 2013 8:51 am

Hi,

I want to measure thumbtip forces so I put a point constraint at the thumbtip then running forward simulations with the force reporter to get the forces on the constraint. In the force reporter I get 2 equal and opposite forces reported, one for body 1 (EndEffectorConstraint_distal_thumb_Fx) and one for body 2 (EndEffectorConstraint_radius_Fx). What frame does the force reporter report the constraint force in?

Thanks,
Sarah
