| Detailed commentComentariu detaliat
The behaviour of the virtual knee can give the important informations which can be used in the fields of robotics, medicine sciences and medical robotics. Also, on the virtual knee joint can be attached virtual prosthetic elements for virtual post-surgery simulations. The obtained models were completed with the mass properties and the virtual bones had in that moment the same inertial characteristics as the real bones. So, using the command Tools/Mass Properties was obtained a average density of the 0.00056 grams/mm3.
