The Inverse Kinematics Tool window, like all other OpenSim tools, operates on the current model. The name of the current model is shown in bold in the Navigator window. Any model can be made the current model by right-clicking on its name and selecting Make Current. See __40__ Opening, Closing, and Using the Navigator Window for information on opening models and making a particular model current.

 | - The section for Current Model displays uneditable information about the current model. It gives the model name, as well as the number of markers associated with the model. Inverse kinematics requires that a marker set is associated with the model. This association with a subject-specific model is established at the time that a generic model is scaled to the subject markers visit Scaling for more information.
- The IK Trial section specifies the experimental marker data that the IK Tool will match with the current model.
- The Marker data for trial field contains the path to the marker data (in .trc format). Information from the file, such as the number of markers, the number of frames and the sampling frequency, as well as the start and end times of the data set, are reported in the Marker Data box on the right-hand side.
- You can specify the time range for performing inverse kinematics in the Time range field. By default, the complete time range is used.
- If you are using experimental generalized coordinate values in the IK trial, check the Coordinate data for trial checkbox and then specify the motion (.mot) file with the coordinate values in the textbox to the right.

 | The weight value affects to what degree a match should be satisfied. Larger weightings penalize errors for that marker or coordinate more heavily and thus should match the experimental value more closely (see __40__How Inverse Kinematics Works). For coordinates, the coordinate value to be matched can come from a specified motion file, be set to its default value, or be set to a user-specified (manual) value.

| When running the IK Tool using the GUI, the results are not automatically saved to a file. They are associated with the model under its Motions node in the Navigator window (__40__Navigator Window). You can view multiple IK results before saving them to a file. To save the IK results to a file, right click on the motion in the Navigator window and select Save as. |

The control panel at the bottom of the dialog window is used to save the settings in the dialog to a file, read the settings from a file, and to run IK. It has the same behavior as described in __40__Scale Setup File
