Meniscus model + high impact #3

Hi Colin,

First off, thanks for releasing this package. I think it will be very useful for my research. I have a couple of questions. I originally posted one of them on the SimTK project forum, but I’ll re-post here (with an additional question) in case you missed it.

  1. Is there a version of the Lenhart model with meniscus included, that is also compatible with with OpenSim 4.1 and hence the latest version of the JAM package? I found an old model with meniscus included on your Github, but this is not compatible with the JAM release as it an OpenSim v3 model.

  2. I am hoping to apply the COMAK framework for some higher impact tasks (e.g. landing, sidestep cutting). Based on your experience, are there some parameters that I may need to change in order to apply the COMAK framework to such tasks? For example, I would expect the accelerations to be higher than walking/running, so perhaps something like the "udot_worse_case_tolerance" parameter might need to be increased. It might just be a trial and error thing from my end, but if you have any advice here on anything I should do or watch out for, that would be awesome.

Cheers, Nirav
