ESB Webinar Series - No.02 -Jumping into Musculoskeletal Modeling with OpenSim

esbiomech.org/blog/2019/09/16...
This webinar is targeted toward individuals interested in learning how OpenSim can be used to explore topics in musculoskeletal simulation and aims to:
Introduce participants to the features in OpenSim, including new features from the latest release of the software
Demonstrate a typical pipeline of creating and visualizing a muscle-driven simulation starting with motion capture data of a subject jumping
By the end of this tutorial, attendees will learn some of the core capabilities of OpenSim, including how to:
Load and visualize motion capture data
Load and explore a musculoskeletal model
Visualize a motion
Create a dynamic simulation
The webinar will be conducted by Dr. Jennifer Hicks. Dr. Hicks is Associate Director the National Center for Simulation in Rehabilitation Research, an NIH-funded center at Stanford University that brings state-of-the-art engineering tools to rehabilitation scientists. In addition, she is the Research and Development Manager of the OpenSim software project, guiding the project’s development team and serving as the voice of the software user/researcher.

Nicely Explained. Thank you for this webinar.

شكرا نتمنى ان نعمل به في العراق 🇮🇶

Hello , have 2 questions ,1. am facing problem with the software, since when downloading , facing some problem when attaching the model, how to solve?? 2. is there anything related with, where i save the software on my pc i have to save the
model in same location????

Perhaps you should show how to get the xml files? Everything is useless without them.

[@markfarrugia451]

agree, as well as the trc

[@dioutoroo]

@@markfarrugia451 I'm keen as well how to get the.XML file, but I think for the .trc and .mot file you can do it on Matlab. She mentioned in the early video around 12:00

[@lushankshambharkar9529]

facing same issue

[@dioutoroo]

Hi, thanks for the video. I would ask a few things. I am using the OpenSim 4.4 now and I'd like to do the static optimization. How do I find the setup file from the example? I only have CMC_Actuators and RRA_Actuators file. If it is not provided, could you please give hint how to set up the actuator file (.XML)? Thank you very much

[@lushankshambharkar9529]

Did you get the answer ? facing same issue

[@dioutoroo]

@@lushankshambharkar9529 No, I don't, but I am trying scripting with python and most probably she (the presenter) used the python/c++ scripting to set up the .xml files. I am not sure, though.

[@lushankshambharkar9529]

@@dioutoroo i have another question. Suppose I have C3D file from motion capture system. Can i use the same motion in this opensim software and how?

[@dioutoroo]

@@lushankshambharkar9529 of course you can. it's a bit technical. You have to choose the model provided by the openSim (you can use yours as well), then you have to scale the model according to your subject. After that, you need to be sure that your marker's name matches the one with the openSim default (otherwise, you must do a little bit work in matlab/python). Then you load the static marker data and finally use your motion data for kinematic/kinetic analysis

@@dioutoroo Thank you for the explanation, can you show me the entire process with the help of screen recorder. That will be very helpful to you. Thankyou.
