Hi,
I'm investigating the effect of changes in stiffness of ligaments on knee joint stability in squat motion.
So, I added 17 ligament bundles and gave ligament property on a full-body squat model in AMMR model folder based on the reference.
This is the model ligament properties.
And I checked the model worked well.
But, when I increased some ligaments properties of 2500N to 2530N, the model didn't work. Kinematic analysis works well, while inverse dynamic analysis turns and stops in the middle of the step.
The stiffness value increased by 1.2%, but I am not sure why the analysis stops in step 9/16. Conversely, even if I reduce the stiffness value, inverse dynamic analysis stops in the middle.
This is the error code and message.

I changed the ligament stiffness of Ligaments2.any.
Has there been a case where a slight change in the stiffness value affected the progress of the inverse dynamic analysis?
Thanks,
