Hi,
Is there an optimal way to input marker data files into Anybody. As
i need to assign each coordinate for each marker to a vector. If i want
to try the same model with data from different subject’s. Is the best
way to copy and paste data into these vectors. Or is there any other
quicker method.
Thanks

Hi Shashank
In the AnyKinInterPolDriver you can import the data as a text file, you just
need to provide a FileName. The data should be stored in columns, for an
example of this please see the Gait3D/JointAndDrivers.any file and one of
the marker trajectory files like p1.txt.
Alternatively if you have the data stored in a C3D file you can used the
C3D2Any converter, this will create AnyScript text files with the content of
the C3D. The data vectors of these files can also be used for driving the
markers, so instead of typing in the “Data” vector you can let the “Data”
vector point at these data. Please see posting #1524 from Oct. 4 for the
details about the converter, it can be downloaded from the file section of
the group.

Thanks Søren,
I downloaded the c3d converter and used it successfully with a c3d
file that i had. But when i tried to use it with the file 5858_free
that is a part of the repository for the Wheelchair rancho model it
gave me an error saying “The specified element type is undefined”.
Which brings me to the question that does the converter look for
specific things in the c3d file and if they are missing does it work
without that.
Thanks

Hey Shashank,
I am not sure I understand your problem with the wheelchair model. Could you
please elaborate?
There are a few parts of the c3d file that the converter assume are present, but
these are only the very essential parts without which it is impossible to
completely decode the file. An example is the POINTS:LABEL group which gives the
data points a label. A complete list of these parameters and groups can be found
at www.c3d.org (the required groups and parameters). If any of these are
missing, the converter will abort and display an error.
Besides this, it has been attempted to make a one-to-one map from the c3d file
to the AnyScript files. However, the naming policy (or lack of such rather) in
the c3d file standard caused a problem because the data can have names that are
not accepted in AnyScript. In order to solve this problem, the converter will
convert all unaccepted characters to accepted ones. For instance a “+” in a name
will be converted to “_”.
I hope this answers your question. Else please ask again.
Best regards

Hi Michael,
I understand when you say how certain elements are critical for
decoding. I was trying to use a file which is part of the repository
under ‘WheelChairRancho’ called 5858_free.c3d.
When i tried to use the c3d converter with this file. I got an error
which said ‘The specified element type is undefined Aborting’.
Now i assumed that this file worked for you guys as you have included
its data in the Anybody model. I was wondering why i am getting this
error, when it worked ( i assume) for you.
I have tried the converter with another c3d file which i had and it
worked so i know that the way i trying to run the converter is
correct.
Hope this clarifies my question a bit
Thanks

Hey Shashank,
Now I understand. I tried to apply the converter to the files you were refering
to, and you are absolutely right that the converter fails.
I have been investigating this a bit and it actually turns out that the files do
not strictly follow the c3d file standard and that is why the converter stops
with an error. However, it is such a simple error in those files that it was not
so difficult to make a fix such that these can also be converted. I will have a
new version uploaded as soon as possible.
The reason why we have not seen this before is because this c3d converter is
fairly new and the WheelChairRancho model was made before the converter was.
Thanks a lot for bringing this to our attention.
Best regards

Thanks Michael,
Could you post the link to the upgraded c3d converter when it
becomes available.
