Hi Soren,
The mannequin set up was near perfectly matched with the marker positions in the
first time step, I don’t think this is the problem. The problem lies within the
drivers, when i change the marker drivers to joint drivers the error increases
in the set.initial.positions, so i think its a fundamental problem with either
the marker coordinates or the driver directions. I am sorry to put another model
up, but i feel i have exhausted my efforts in setting up the model. File Trial

many thanks

The movement you see when running the conditions is because the initial
positions of the model do not corresponds 100% with the position of the
first timestep. The initial position is the position the model is loaded in
this is before the kinematic analysis has been done, these positions servers
the purpose of a good starting guess on the position for the kinematic
analysis, nothing more. If the set initial conditions run through the
initial positions are good enough, otherwise they should be improved.
By improving them, I mean that they should be closer to the segment
positions of the first timestep. If you have rotated the model 90 deg, you
will also need to make some changes in the initial positions of the segments
to reflect this. This can be done by making changes in the mannequin.any
file. By changing the pelvislin and pelvisrot values together with the
joints angles you should try to make the free markers and the markers on the
body to be as close as possible when the model loads, before the setinitial
conditions has been done.
So if I have understood you problem correctly I think it is a mater of
providing better starting conditions to the model.
It may also be a good idea to replace some of your maker drivers with joint
drivers, until you have a running model, I would recommend always to
maintain a running model and do the modifications is small steps.
Best regards
Søren, anybody Support

Subject: RE: [AnyScript] driving in the y direction
Hi Soren,
I am using Ref=0; in the drivers. I have also tried using the second
coordinate system (Ref=1) with no luck. The area in which kinemaitc analysis
is failing is in the Jnt constraints and Model.Environment.Connections
drivers. On SetInitialConditions I am noticing a movement in the mannequin,
I’m not sure why this is occuring and if it is having an effect on the model
running. I am currently looking in to using Ansys to change the x and y
coordinates in the Points.Markers folder, but ideally I would like to run
the model driven in the y. With sit-to-stand the main movement is coming
from the knees and the hips, with less enphasis in the ankles. Do you think
i should change the model set-up to better represent this?
many thanks

I have not tried driving the gait model in the y direction, but if all
marker drivers make use of AnyKinLinear measures based on segment coordinate
systems, it should not matter which direction you are using.
Please verify that all the AnyKinLinear measures have this line included
Ref=0; or alternative Ref=1
When you write ref=0 it will use the first mentioned coordinate system in
the measure, if you are writing ref=1 it will use the second. It should
always be set so that it is measuring using the coordinate system of the
bone, this will make the driver independent of direction.
By default this value is -1 meaning that it will use the global coordinate
system.
If any of the used AnyKinLinear measures are measuring in the global system
it will make a difference which direction it is pointing, otherwise it
should not make any differences.

Subject: [AnyScript] driving in the y direction
Hi everyone
I am currently modelling a sit-to-stand in anybody. I have a working
model for gait in the x direction but I need to model the new
sit-stand model in the y (due to the way I captured the motion
analysis). Has anyone tried to run a model driving in the y? I have
changed the Jnt file, the JointsAndDrivers and the Mannequin to fit
the model to drive in the y, but I still have problems running
kinematic analysis.
any suggestions would be greatly apprecaited as always
many thanks
Peter
