Darryl, Jill, Rick, Paul, Kate, Rob

2. Prerequisites Biomechanics Dynamics Programming
reviewed in lecture
2d rigid body / inverse dynamics
Programming
Exposure to any language (logic)
Lab course geared toward grad students
OK for ME, BIOE, KINES

3. Objectives Tutorial based Exposure to field
Develop musculoskeletal model
Simulate animal/human movement
Components of generic simulation
Know/apply advanced analysis tools
Final project
Overall goal: training your students to learn and use simulation for particular application

4. Curriculum Core labs (1-2 weeks each) Customized lecture
Kinematic MS model
Torque-actuated simulation
Muscle tendon modeling
Muscle-actuated simulation
Numerical optimization
