Hi everyone,

is there a knee joint model implementation with more than one DoF available or can anyone point me to a model which could be easily integrated in the AnyBody full body model / TLEM model?

Thanks and best regards!

Hi Felix,

The only other knee model in the AMMR is found in the beta section, it is the TKR model using FDK, but is not what you are looking for i guess.

To change the knee model i would:

[ol]
[li]Use MechObjectExclude in the study to disable the current joint
[/li][li]Define a new knee joint to replace it.
[/li][/ol]

In this way you will not need to modify the leg model but you can do it from the “outside”

Note that in version 6.1 it is now possible to make non-linear relations between DOF so in terms of kinematics, please see the webcast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdEIDH0jLu4&feature=youtu.be
