Dear all,
I’m doing tutorials, for instance, the one on the calibration of muscles.
When calibrating a muscle, you define a posture of the model in which this muscle works primarily. This “optimal” posture depends of the calibrated muscle.
Let us say I have a model with two segments, and need to perform an inverse dynamics study on this model, while the segment1 is rotating relative to segment2.
So, if I calibrated a muscle1 in posture1 and muscle2 in posture2 (let us exaggerate: posture1 is a flexion and posture2 is an extension of the same joint!!!).
Does it make sense to perform the inverse dynamics calculation after performing these two calibrations?
So if i understand you correctly you calibrate two muscles in two different positions one in flexion and one in extension.
This can in general be ok, depending on the actual muscles and selected angles. This will mean that one muscle will have optimal strength for flexion the other for extension.
concerning your answer to my question about the calibration.
Does it means that, if the model does not “pass through” the defined optimal postures, then there would be no need to calibrate the corresponding muscles?
