Getting Started
This tutorial is the starting point for new users. Its purpose is to allow users to get the first model up and
running fairly quickly.
The AnyBody Modeling System can be approached on a number of levels depending on the amount of detail
the modeling task requires. Listing the approaches in top-down order may produce the following:
• Loading a model defined by somebody else and changing simple parameters like the applied load or
the posture. For instance, the so-called StandingModel from the model repository allows for addition
of loads to certain predefined points on the model, and the system will compute the muscular
reactions.
• Modifying a model made by somebody else but similar to what you want to obtain. For instance, one
of the bicycle models from the repository could be changed into a recumbent bike.
• Building a new model by taking a predefined collection of body parts from the repository and
equipping it with boundary conditions and an environment to interact with. For instance, it is rather
