On reload you will see that the body now loads in pretty much the desired position. Notice that this is only to
bring the body close to where it will eventually be. It is not necessary to align the model exactly with the
pedal. The kinematic constraints will take care of this once they are properly defined.
2. Connecting the foot to the pedal
The foot will be connected to the pedal by a spherical joint. This is defined inside the JointsAndDrivers file in
the following way:
AnySphericalJoint PedalFoot = {
AnyRefNode &Pedal = Main.MyPedal.EnvironmentModel.Pedal.FootNode;
AnyRefNode &Foot = Main.MyPedal.HumanModel.Right.Leg.Seg.Foot.MetatarsalJoint2Node;
};
We have cheated just a little. It is possible to define new nodes on the foot for attachment to a specific
place, but we have taken the cheap-and-dirty solution of picking an existing point close to where we
presume the contact with the pedal will be. The MetatarsalJoint2Node is a good approximation.
You will not see any change when you reload the model, but if you run the SetInitialConditions operation,
you might get this (notice you may have to click the model view window to update the picture):
