BoneLoad

Coming soon.... This Visual Basic program interfaces with the Strand7 Application Programming Interface (API) to apply distributed muscle forces over curved bone surfaces. Force vectors can be aimed directly toward muscle insertion sites or applied tangentially in directions that best fit bone curvature. Users can choose to use tangential forces alone or to include the small components of normal force that are generated as muscle fibers wrap around curved bone surfaces. This software is currently a Beta version and may contain errors. However, if you would like a copy please contact Betsy Dumont.
