I found that in the MoCapModel, the human anthropometric scaling is determined by the position of the markers.
While the certain marker’s position may have displacement among different postures because the connection between the skin and joint is not fixed. This may cause the body scaling results differ from each trial.
I just wonder that if there is a solution in which we can scale the humanmodel by one reference posture, and then fix the body model dimensions. For all the other trials, we use the dimension-fixed bodymodel, and define the postures by markers’ trajectory.
Could you tell me whether I can achieve the goals by AnyBody?
In the TrialSpecificData.any you can set up your optimization task - you can provide your custom anthropometric measurements (found after the first run), and what needs to be optimized (in your case everything will be “off”). Highlighted red needs to be switched to “Off”
TrialSpecificData.any:
AnyFolder Anthropometrics={
AnyVar BodyMass=62; //the mass is automatically distributed to the segments
AnyVar BodyHeight=1.73; //height

AnyVar ShankLength= 0.4120814;
AnyVar FootLength=0.21;
AnyVar PelvisWidth=0.1791738; //distance between hip joints
AnyVar PelvisDepth=0.1509133;
AnyVar HeadHeight = 0.14;//height in neutral position from C1HatNode to top of head

// Define what anthropometrics will be optimised, but be aware that inconsiderate changes
