Would like model output and inverse kinematics output in degrees

[Eric Rapp]

Hello,

I am currently working with two different models (Rajagopal and Arnold) and I noticed that in the coordinates window for the model, the Rajagopal model displays all joint angles in degrees while the Arnold model displays most joint angles in radians (images attached below). This also translates to the results of inverse kinematics analysis where the Rajagopal outputs a motion file with angles in degrees and Arnold in radians.

Is there a way to adjust the Arnold model (in the .osim file) to also output in all joint angles in degrees like the Rajagopal model?

If you open the .osim file you can find the min and max permissible values for each coordinate in radiance. The GUI transforms these values to degrees automatically.

I see those values in the .osim file and they are the same for both models, but for some reason the Rajagopal displays and outputs in degrees, whereas the Arnold displays and outputs in radians. I would like it to be consistent so I can compare the results from my analysis. Is there a way to do that?

Hello,

In OpenSim versions before 4.0, users were allowed to specify if a coordinate is Rotational (GUI converts it to degrees for convenience) or Translational or Coupled (never converted).
In version 4.0 that motionType is not exposed and it lives with the joint itself. Check upgrade notes section on how to upgrade model files

Hope this helps,
