It would be helpful if you posted a description of the contents of the forceplate.cal file. Also, can you please post the Mx, My, Mz plate data (Raw and Synched)? Hope it is possible and not too much of a hassle.
thanks in advance,

RE: Force Plate Info and Data
Kurt,
Per your recent message, it appears you have figured out how to convert the .forces files into the format that you need. As you probably now realize, the three moments can be calculated about any specified point starting from the one moment calculated about the center of pressure using the engineering mechanics concept of "replacement" (see, for example, Kane and Levinson, "Dynamics: Theory and Application," McGraw Hill, 1985).
Glad you are able to push forward with developing predictions for the competition!
