The Output Reporter analysis allows us to get the values for all of the outputs above easily for a given simulation. The example files contain a setup file that sets up the analysis for our jumping simulation.

Running the tool

1. On the top toolbar, go to "Tools" → "Analyze...".
2. Load the setup file "outputreporter_setup.xml".
3. Explore the input files from CMC.
   1. In the Main Settings tab, the states from CMC output are used (i.e., "isb_states.sto").
   2. In the "Actuators and External Loads tab"
      1. The same Actuators file from CMC is used ("reserve_actuators.xml").
      2. The same External Loads file from CMC is used ("jump_forces.xml").
4. Explore the Output Reporter analysis.
   1. Go to the "Analyses" tab. The OutputReporter analysis has already been added.
   2. Click on the "OutputReporter" analysis and then click "Edit".
   3. Expand the "output_paths" list. The full paths to different outputs are added here.
   4. Check if the four full paths from the previous section are the same ones added here.
   5. If you'd like to add another output, click the "+" icon in the second column of the pane.
5. Run the Output Reporter analysis by going back to the main Analysis window and clicking the "Run" button.
