1. Jacky Bibliowicz’s Information & Goals
OpenSim Workshop 1

2. Background and Interests
Parametric Human Project
Part of the Environment and Ergonomics Group at Autodesk Research.
Headed by Azam Khan
Areas of interest:
Develop a complete, anatomically accurate, data-driven biomechanical model of the human body.
Develop a collaborative biomechanical modeling and simulation framework enabling community collaboration
Develop a biomechanical authoring environment for various software platforms.
Topics I want to see covered:
Detailed coverage of OpenSim joints and muscles.
Want to reproduce OpenSim joint motion using custom Maya networks and/or plugins.

3. Primary Goal to be Accomplished
Is Autodesk Maya an appropriate authoring tool for OpenSim models?
Evaluating Autodesk Maya as a an authoring platform for various existing biomechanical frameworks.
Is there enough functionality in Maya to load, author, and save OpenSim models?
How much of the built-in functionality is sufficient? How much is customized?
Goals:
Improve our OpenSim importer to include joints and muscles.
Obtain a detailed understanding of OpenSim joints.
Understand the minimum specification of a complete OpenSim model. 3
