Dynamics Pipleine

The Dynamics Pipline is a suite of software tools that enables you to perform forward and inverse dynamics simulations on musculoskeletal modles. The Pipeline connects SIMM to SD/FAST (Symbolic Dynamics, Mountain View, CA) which simulates the dynamics of rigid-body motion. For forward dynamics, the Pipeline includes a model for computing the dynamic forces in muscles. You specify the on/off times of the muscles, and the Pipeline will compute the resutling motions of the body segments. For inverse dynamics, you specify the time histories of the joint angles during some activity (e.g., walking), and the Pipeline will calculate the torques required to generate that motion.
