Models with kinematic constraints may produce incorrect moment arms #3805

Open nickbianco opened 3 weeks ago

nickbianco commented 3 weeks ago

Moment arms are calculated by applying a unit force along a path and calculating the resulting joint moment. Models will produce constraint forces when kinematic constraints are present, which may be leading to incorrect moment arms at other degrees-of-freedom.

Opened to keep track of the issue noted here: https://github.com/opensim-org/opensim-moco/issues/674.
