Evaluation points

[darios93]

Good afternoon,

Which method did you use to assess the number of evaluation points?

Thank you,
Dario

Hi Dario,
when you process a model you should tend to decide the number of points considered in the optimization balancing the degrees of freedom to be sampled and the level of discretization of each coordinate (values considered from lower bound to upper bound of the coordinate). So, if a muscle is crossing two or three joints, mapping the normalised muscle quantities from the reference model with a fine discretization of the coordinates range of motion could result in a relatively large optimization problem. In the original paper we proposed a convergence study to solve this problem.
Let me know if you want to discuss this further.
