Hello,
for scaling my AnyBody Model to the anthropometry of a model i have to
use in a further simulation i need to know how the size of the
AnyFamily is measured. Is there a presentation which shows how you
measured the single parts of the Bodymodel?
What i need is for example the definition of the foot length. In the
repository it is 0.02m for the 50%ile man. This seems to be very
short. The next is the pelvis width: how is it measured because 0.016m
is the value? If you have a picture which describes where your
reference points for geometrical measuring were, this would help me a
lot.
Thank you very much, best regards Maren
Hi Maren
These are good questions it would be nice with some pictures
explaining these quantities. Unfortunately we do not have this at
the moment so here is the explanation in words:
ThighLength: This is the length from hipjoint center to knee joint
center
ShankLength: Length from KneeJoint center to Ankle joint center
FootLength: Length from Ankle joint center to a node named toe tip
which is located at the tip of the big toe. You can try to add an
AnyDrawRefFrame in this node to see it location.
PelvisWidth: Distance from Right hip joint center to left hip joint
center
TrunkHeight: Distance from C1HatNode joint to L5Sacrum joint
HeadHeight: Height in neutral position from C1HatNode to top of head
UpperArmLength: Distance from GH joint center to FE joint center
LowerArmLength: Diatance from elbow joint center to wrist joitn
center
I think the explanation of how the foot length is measure explains a
value of 0.2m?(not 0.02m) and it is the same about the Pelvis width
which is 0.16m.?
Please write again if you have further questions

Hi Sören,
of course you are right with 0.2 instead of 0.02, so thank you very much for
your explanations. Now it is easier to make my two different simulation models
equal.

I’ve had the same problem to understand these quantities, and

2. with Winter, for a 1.75m height man like AnyJack, PelvisWidth =
0.191*Body_Height = 0.33m! So if you divide by 2, it can explain the
value of 0.16m.
Hope this can be helpful.
Don’t hesitate to tell me if I’m wrong.

Hi Franck
You are exactly right ! The PelvisWidth quantity is the distance
between the hip joint centers.

Is there some coefficient I can use with BodyMass or somehing else to

Thank you so much,

Hi Frank
If you look in the ARep/Aalborg/Gait3D folder you can find a file
named AnyMan.any, i think this file will solve your problem. Please
look in the Gait3D.main.any file, to see how to include this file
into your model.
Best regards
Søren

Hi,
I’ve looked in that Folder (AnyMan.any) but i don’t really understand
where do the coefficients come from.
from AnyMan :
AnyVar lower_lumbar_spine = 4.08Body_Mass/70.43;
AnyVar upper_lumbar_spine = 4.62Body_Mass/70.43;
AnyVar lower_thoracal_spine = 5.09Body_Mass/70.43;
AnyVar upper_thoracal_spine = 6.51Body_Mass/70.43;
AnyVar lower_cervical_spine = 0.51Body_Mass/70.43;
AnyVar upper_cervical_spine = 0.43Body_Mass/70.43;
I tried to resolve the same equations for AnyArne, and AnyAnne, but i
can’t find the same results as you.
I’ve also looked in the “Dynamics of Human Gait” as it is written in
the comment, but there is no explanation about those parts of the
body.
In this book, they apparently use some linear regression equation
which has the form :
Segment Mass =C1(TotalBodyMass)+C2(lenght)^3+C3.
But it is not to the same form as in AnyMan.any.
I am sorry to ask such a question, but I really need more precisions
on that.
Kind Regards,
Franck
Hello Franck,
This is John from the AnyBody Research Project. As you may know, the
models in the repository are the results of a lot of rather
uncoordinated efforts from many different researchers working with
the models over time. The contruction of a full body model that is
also scaleable is such a monumental task that it must be done in
cooperation between many different scientists.
We ecourage people to add comments describing the sources of the
information that they put into these files, but the discipline is
often lacking a bit, so many files do not have sufficient description
of the sources. The source of many of the scaling files has
unfortunately been lost over time, or the original programmer has
thought that the background of the data is obvious from the
mathematical expression used.
The good thing about the open source princple is that you have the
oppotunity to investigate what is in the file and change it if you do
not like it.
In terms of investigation, this line
> AnyVar upper_lumbar_spine = 4.62*Body_Mass/70.43;
indicates that a part of the total mass of the body is attributed to
the upper part of the lumbar spine. In the reference model with a
total mass of 70.43 kg, this corresponds to 4.62 kg. Multiplying with
the body mass and dividing by the mass of the reference model makes
sure that the mass scales to other models with different masses. They
then maintain the same relative part of the body mass. This total
body mass is be different for AnyArne, AnyAnne or AnyJack, so the
mass attributed to the upper lumbar spine will also come out
differently.
I hope this was the exlanation you were looking for.
Best regards,
John
