Designing a general software system for musculoskeletal analysis

Abstract

analysis Abstract. This paper describes the considerations that went before the development of the AnyBody Modeling System, a system for computer modeling and analysis of the musculoskeletal system. The paper explains the considerations and choices behind the system’s design and basic methodology, and it presents a number of examples to illustrate the consequences. It is concluded that much of the necessary functionality has been provided at the cost of a technical interface that might be difficult for non-experts to master. 1.
