The toolbar of this window indicates a kinship with the Model View window. Indeed, if you select the rotation
button in the toolbar and drag the mouse with the left button down inside the coordinate system you will
notice that the system rotates just like an ordinary Model View. Now, expand the Bike2D node in the tree
until you can click the ParamStudy->Output->MaxAct->Val property. The coordinate system automatically
attains a second abscissa axis and you can see a nice surface like this:
The surface shows the maximum muscle activity over the cycle for each of the 25 combinations of
parameters and provides a very nice overview of the behavior of the model. The surface reveals that the
highest and most backward position is the best. Why not try higher and more backward, then? It is very
simply to do:
AnyDesVar SaddleHeight = {
Val = Main.BikeParameters.SaddleHeight;
Min = Val - 0.05;
Max = Val + 0.05;
};
AnyDesVar SaddlePos = {
Val = Main.BikeParameters.SaddlePos;
Min = Val - 0.10;
Max = Val + 0.10;
};
