** EXAMPLE FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS FOR KNEE EXTENSION TESTING**
Abaqus Version: 6.13-1
Specimen: DU01
Condition: Intact/Healthy
Main input file for job execution: DU01_INTACT_MLR.inp
Description:
The example analysis simulates a dynamic flexion task for the intact condition.
Experimental quadriceps excursion is used to drive tibiofemoral flexion (amp_quad_disp.inp).
All other tibiofemoral joint kinematics are prescribed based on the experiment (amps_gs_2660.inp).
The patellofemoral joint is unconstrained.
