ISB/TGCS Software Resources
This is a collection of software from ISB/TGCS
members, Biomch-L subscribers, or
other sources. All software is available for unrestricted non-commercial
use. Contact the author(s) for commercial applications.
The ISB is not responsible for proper functioning of software
posted on this site.
The collection is mostly for musculoskeletal modeling. Finite element
resources are still missing.
Multibody Dynamics
Contributions by ISB/TGCS members
- SIMU5 - A software package
for forward simulation of a 5-segment human body model. README file
only, contact the author,
Dimitrios Kalakanis to obtain
the executables.
- SPACELIB - Software library for rigid-body kinematics and dynamics.
Contributed by Giovanni Legnani,
University of Brescia, Italy. With the January 2005 release, three versions
are available: C language and Matlab for numerical simulations and Maple for
symbolic calculations.
- MODEL3D - A 3D model of a human with 23 degrees of freedom, contributed by
Rahman Davoodi, Department of
Biomedical Engineering, University of Southern California.
This is a general purpose program that is useful for simulation of certain
motions such as standing up, sitting down, and lifting loads. The model is composed of 10 limbs and 11 joints that allow 23 degrees of
freedom. Both feet are fixed to the ground and each joint axis can be separately locked, set free, prescribed to
a known
trajectory or controlled by a PD controller with optional constant feed forward
component. A 3D animation with adjustable view helps to visualize the
resulting motion. The results can be stored for later analysis.

System, 2nd edition (Eds. B.M. Nigg & W. Herzog). Contributed by
Ton van den Bogert.
