Hello,
I've been trying to run a static optimization tool on the arm 26 model, It ran perfectly fine, but now I'm trying to add external forces at arbitrary points on the model, I'm finding it hard to input the location of the external force, and the amount of force being exerted, How can I input those data, I know I need to have an xml file for it but I don't know how to create a file that would have the stored data (location of the force, amount of force etc.)
Should I have an excel file with all the data there or what?
I am still a beginner with OpenSim, so anything is helpful at the moment.
Thanks!

Re: How to insert external forces
It could be helpful to work through the Static Optimization example that we have on the documentation website: https://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu/d ... timization
In addition, feel free to look at the input files in a text editor (like Notepad++) or Excel to see the exact format of those files that are needed.
