\b Requirements This addon depends on the geometry addon
\b Description This addon currently contains an optimized library for creating specialized curves that describe phenomenological curves for line-type muscles -fiber active-force-length curve -fiber force-velocity curve -fiber passive-force-length curve -tendon force-length curve and torque-type muscles -active torque-angle curve -active torque-velocity curve -passive torque-angle curve In addition, there is a class that can be used to package the memory and functions required to model torque muscles: Millard2016TorqueMuscle.
\b Future Development In the near future this library will also contain
-
Torque-type muscle models with a. Elastic tendons b. Short-range-stiffness
-
An implementation of the line-type muscle Millard2012Equilibrium muscle model which features the option of using rigid and elastic tendons, and a damped/ undamped formulation.
-
An novel implemenation of 2D muscle wrapping using an obstacle set of smooth convex shapes described using Pythagorean hodographs.
