Braking problem

Hi Christian,

I have uploaded my model again as “Test.rar” in folder “Braking Problem”.

This model is used to estimate muscle forces in lower extremities
while braking. Environment model is similar as the sample
“SeatedHuman”. Forces are applied on the foot and torso movement is
constrained by the rigid seat interface.

This model seems work well. However, when I check the simulation
result from InverseDynamicAnalysis, muscle force predicted for muscle
RectusFemoris is 2580N (Fm). It is larger than the Strength (800N). Is
there anything wrong with my model? or do I misunderestand the output
data?

Thanks for your help.

Mark

Hi Mark

Good you wrote again.
Well I was about to download your model but for some reason Yahoo is
not working right now, but I will take a look at it soon.

Best regards

Hi Again Mark

I took a quick look at your model.
Which direction do you want to aply the gravity in? From my point of
view it seems like it is wrong, but I might misunderstood the setup.

Hi Christian,

Thanks for your quick reply.

The gravity in my model is set:
Gravity = {0.0, -9.8, 0.0};
I guess it is the vertical direction in global coordinate. It seems no
problem.

Talking about the gravity, I want to clarify that one of the purpose
the gravity defined in the model is to consider the body weight. Is
that correct?

Hi Mark

You are welcome.
I just took a look at the model this morning and it seemed like(from
looking at the model in the model view) that you actually wanted the
gravity in the z-direction, but I might made a mistake.

Yes the gravity is made to consider the different weights of the segments.
