Exploring outputs of different components

First, we'll find the output for the whole model's center of mass position.

1. Load the model file jumper_model_updated.osim.
2. In the Navigator pane, select the model by clicking on the model name "jumper". This should bring up the properties of the model in the Properties pane.
3. In the Properties pane, click on "Outputs". This Properties pane will now be populated with the outputs that can be extracted from the model. The name of each output appears in the left column, and the data type in the right column.
4. To use the Output Reporter, the full path to each output is needed. We'll find the output for the center of mass position of the whole model. Select "com_position" in the Outputs list. In the bottom left, there are now two strings. The top string is the name of the output (i.e., "com_position"), and the line below contains the full path (i.e., "/|com_position")

Next, we'll find the output for the right hand's position.

Finally, we'll find some interesting muscle outputs.
