Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and corresponding system for modeling a musculo-skeletal system. An embodiment of the method of the invention begins by scaling and positioning a musculo-skeletal model to correspond with motion capture data of a subject. Next, kinematically consistent motion data is generated from the motion capture data and then an inverse dynamic analysis of the musculo-skeletal model is performed using the generated kinematically consistent motion data, such that at least one analysis result is generated. The musculo-skeletal model is then updated to correspond with the at least one analysis result of the inverse dynamic analysis. Finally, the muscle activation of the updated musculo-skeletal model is optimized by determining at least one muscle force using the updated musculo-skeletal model, and by further updating the updated musculo-skeletal model to correspond with the determined at least one muscle force.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method is provided for simulating a modal frequency response of a real-world object. The computer-implemented method includes dividing a plurality of excitation frequencies into a plurality of excitation frequency subsets, calculating modal frequency responses for at least a portion of the excitation frequencies in a given excitation frequency subset, and generating a simulation of the real-world object based at least in part on the modal frequency responses.
