Introductory OpenSim Workshop at SOFAMEA and SB Meeting 2017
On the 19th of October 2017, OpenSim Fellow Luca Modenese (University of Sheffield), along with colleague Clement Favier (Imperial College London) held an OpenSim workshop for beginners, during which basic steps of the OpenSim workflow were demonstrated through hands-on examples and demos, with a special focus towards applications in human movement. The workshop consisted of tutorials developed from data collected on a patient with total knee replacement (https://simtk.org/projects/kneeloads) and focused on the following topics:
- Data import
- Model marker set preparation
- Model scaling
- Inverse kinematics
- Introduction to muscle analysis
The event was sponsored by SOFAMEA (Société Francophone d’Analyse du Mouvement chez l’Enfant et l’Adulte) and SB (Société de Biomécanique).
Workshop Location
Institut de Biomecanique Humaine Georges Charpak, Paris.
Preparing for the workshop
To run the hands-on tutorial you will need a laptop with OpenSim 3.3 already installed. For motion capture data visualization and basic processing please install Mokka (https://biomechanical-toolkit.github.io/mokka/) as well. Details about the workshop are also available in French at the website: http://workshop-opensim-2017.sofamea.org.
