If you click once on InverseDynamicAnalysis and then on the Run button in the bottom of the window then
the system will start analyzing the muscle and joint forces in the model under the influence of gravity and
the load we applied to the hand. This takes a few seconds during which you will see the muscles standing
out from the body and subsequently falling into place. When the analysis is finished you will notice a slight
color change in the muscles and also some bulging, primarily in the right arm. The bulging is proportional to
the force in each muscle, and the degree of red color is proportional to the muscles tone.
You have just completed your first analysis of an AnyBody model. In the next lesson we shall briefly
examine the results. Lesson 3: Reviewing analysis results

Lesson 3: Reviewing analysis results
The muscle bulging in the Model View window provides an immediate feedback on the overall stres state of
the body, but it does not give much detailed information. For detailed investigation of results, the system
provides several charting facilities. Here we shall just review the basic functionality: The ChartFX View. It
provides the basic ability to make two-dimensional diagrams depicting the results. You can also export the
graphs to the clipboard on several different formats or as text for pasting into a spreadsheet.
The first step is to click Window -> ChartFX 2D (new). A new window containing a blank field in the middle
and a tree view in the left hand pane appears.
The tree expands to reveal the entire structure of output data generated by AnyBody. Every element in the
model generates some form of output from the analysis, so the tree is very large. One of the first nodes you
encounter is the MaxMucleActivity variable:
