Model Generation Plugin Error

[David Britzman]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get started with the software but am having a few problems installing the model generation plugins (fieldworkgait2392geomstep etc). I had installed them fine previously on another computer so not quite sure what the issue is. I've attached the output from Anaconda as I'm sure its probably a simple fix that I'm just not seeing. I've checked that the osim.py file from Gias2 is up to date and all seems fine

Hi David,

I personally haven't seen the exact issue before but let's see what we can figure out. From what I am seeing it is looking like the mapclient is having trouble loading the opensim module as part of import gias2.musculoskeletal.osim

What I would suggest to see if this is the problem, is open an Anaconda Terminal and activate the environment you are using the MAP, from what it looks like this is called mapclient-1.3.0. Try launching python from this terminal and try to import the the OpenSim module and perform a simple action as below

Code: Select all

import opensim as osim
model = osim.Model()

If either of these steps fail, it is likely OpenSim is the problem here, for future reference if possible, rather than the anaconda prompt output a screenshot of the anaconda prompt displaying the error may make it a bit easier to read on my end.

Let me know how that goes

Cheers
Bryce

Hi Bryce

Thanks for the reply, have tried importing the OpenSim module but seem to get the same error as before. Have attached screenshot below

Hi David,

Okay, so it seems like it's an OpenSim issue. What I would do is re-try installing the python bindings for OpenSim as per the installation instructions. You could do this both in the map environment and a standalone environment if you wanted to test the OpenSim python binding install in isolation.

What version of OpenSim are you using ? I've only ever personally used OpenSim 3.3 for MAP so if you are using a different version this may be a contributing factor.

Hi David,

If the above steps do not fix the problem: check this forum post which may be relevant to your problem

Hi Bryce

Thanks so much for your help, I seem to have got it working now. I think the issue was that OpenSim was installed in a folder that needed administrator access so i reinstalled in documents folder and it seems to be sorted.

Again, thanks a lot for your help

Hi David,

Great to hear that it is solved. I suspect that is why OpenSim generally installs on your C:/ by default to potentially avoid this.

Thanks for your post and always happy to help, keep in touch with your progress and what you end up doing with MAP.

Cheers
