A computer simulation program was developed to study and illustrate the complex interactions that exist between muscle structure, neural activation, and mechanical characteristics. The software incorporates equations inherent in a comprehensive muscle-tendon model. The software provides a multi-menu interface allowing the user to easily alter quantities related to muscle architecture, kinematics, and activation level. Five different simulations may be performed and graphically displayed including: force-length, force-velocity, force-activation, force-time, and muscle vs tendon length. Up to three different muscle design/contraction condition combinations can be displayed simultaneously for each simulation. Sample simulation results illustrating the mechanical behavior of muscles with different structures are presented.
开发了一个计算机模拟程序，用于研究和阐释肌肉结构、神经激活与力学特性之间存在的复杂相互作用。该软件纳入了一个全面的肌肉-肌腱模型中固有的方程。该软件提供了一个多菜单界面，允许用户轻松更改与肌肉结构、运动学和激活水平相关的量。可以执行并以图形方式显示五种不同的模拟，包括：力-长度、力-速度、力-激活、力-时间以及肌肉与肌腱长度。每次模拟最多可同时显示三种不同的肌肉设计/收缩条件组合。给出了说明不同结构肌肉力学行为的模拟结果示例。
