A Biologically Accurate, Computationally Efficient Musculotendon Model

Flexing Computational Muscle: Modeling and Simulation of Musculotendon
Dynamics, Journal of Biomedical Engineering 135(2):021005 (2013).

 

The recently published work by Simbios postdoctoral fellow Matthew Millard
describes a new muscle model with biologically accurate results and fast
simulation times.  Hear more about the model at
http://simbios.stanford.edu.  The data and code for the models, as well as
the comprehensive benchmarking tests, are available at
https://simtk.org/home/opensim_muscle.
