Basic element conversion [bone meshes, joint definitions, muscle paths, wrapping objects] +2. Moment arm optimization [matching the moment arm of each muscle by optimizing how muscles wrap over wrapping objects] +3. Muscle force optimizaiton [matching the muscle force-length relationship by optimizing muscle parameters] + +After the conversion, No manual adjusting process is done to correct the abnormal results. + +## Maunal adjustment: +- Adjustments post conversion to optimize for kitnematic and dynamic behaviors +- Inertial properties +- Dynamics properties of the joints + +## Contact Geometries: +- Manually designed with references +- Contact properties optimized for contact rich behaviors + +## Issues: +- N/A \ No newline at end of file
