  • Show: Enabled only if a marker is hidden
  • Show Only: Hides all other markers except for those selected
  • Hide: Hides the display of selected marker(s)

In addition, the following functionality is supported:

  • Double clicking a Marker specific marker node in the navigator, highlights the corresponding display visual with a selection box in the Visualizer Window.
  •  Selecting a marker in the Visualizer Window highlights the corresponding node in the Navigator tree.

...

External forces (such as ground reaction forces) in OpenSim are contained in a .mot file. The header of the selected force (.mot) file is the same as that expected by OpenSim tools (__40__Motion (.mot) Files).

For the ground reaction forces used by the gait model, the column labels are shown below (for 2 external forces force1, force2, torque1, torque2):

...

The data previewer expects groups of 6 columns for a force of the form “body”_”ForceName”_{vx, vy, vz, px, py, pz}, where vi corresponds to each component of the force and pi corresponds to each component of the location of the force (e.g., center of pressure) and 3 columns for a torque of the form “body”_”TorqueName”_{x, y, z}, corresponding to each component of the applied torque. Note that this naming convention is only necessary for previewing purposes. OpenSim tools employ a new an External Loads user interface enabling you to specifiy any specify an arbitary number of forces, along with points of application, or torques to a model during any simulation or analysis.

However, the visualization is transformed to enable you to modify the preprocessing tools, as needed. To access the visual transformation dialog window: 

Transform Data Previewer Window

Image Modified

  • Right-mouse click on the navigator node corresponding to the motion file viewed (e.g. subject_01_walk1.trc in the example above). Choose Transform from the drop-down menu.
  • Double click on any listed folders to display the list of markers (e.g. Lab Frame in the example at right).
  • Use the arrow buttons to change the angle for Rotate XRotate Y, and Rotate Z; this will transform the data in the viewer (and in the viewer only – not the data file itself). 
  • Angles are always positive (0-360 degrees). 
  • Translations can be previewed by modifying the display offset. 
Info

The data file itself is NOT modified by OpenSim; the data previewer just displays the transformed data, so that the appropriate transformation(s) may be determined and applied during preprocessing.


Preview of Motion Capture Data in OpenSim
  • Select the marker data and grf data to sync the data and visualize the ground reaction forces with the marker motions.
  • See Loading Motions for more information about how to sync motions.
