The importance of computer aided kinematic and dynamic simulations has been demonstrated in many research projects and represent a powerful tool for the analysis and design of multibody systems in fields such as automobile industry, aerospace, robotics, machinery, biomechanics and others.
In this paper the authors present the effectiveness of the virtual environment in development and testing phase of the prototype.
The AMP-Foot 2.0, an energy efficient powered transtibial prosthesis mimicking non-pathological ankle behavior, has been modeled using 3D Multibody Dynamics tool, MSC Adams/View.
The behavior of a new energy efficient below-knee prosthesis has been modeled and simulated.
