Does the command below provide internal or external moment?
Thanks

Main.HumanModel.BodyModel.SelectedOutput.Left.Leg.JointMomentMeasure.KneeFlexion

Hello

Welcome to the AnyScript Forum!

The output provides knee flexion moment. Positive values mean flexion moment, while negative values mean extension moment.

Best regards,

Hi Dave.

Thanks for the reply. The interpretation of the directionally based on the magnitude is clear.

However, my question is different and more fundamental. Are the moments computed by Anybody are considered external or internal?

Thanks

Hi,

I would consider them to be internal moment. This moment is applied by the model through the muscles.

I hope that helps

Best regards,
Dave
