biomake

Create biorbd's bioMods of humans from a yeadon meas.txt measurements file.

Installing

This script depends on the Python package yeadon for computing the Yeadon model of the human. It also depends on numpy and pyaml.

They can be installed using pip or conda:

conda install -cconda-forge yeadon numpy pyyaml

or

python -m pip install yeadon numpy PyYAML

Usage

Assuming you have your Human.txt for yeadon, you can simply

python biomake.py Human.txt > Human.bioMod

The bioMod created this way only contains the bare minimum: the mathematical skeleton of the Human. To add degrees of freedom, meshes, markers, set default positions and other options of the bioMod, you can specify a Human_opt.yml file to biomake this way

python biomake.py Human.txt --bioModOptions Human_opt.yml > Human.bioMod

Note however that biomake does not support bioMod's "imu" nor "contact" declarations.

The created bioMods can be visualized using bioviz.

See example/ for sample .yml option files.
