Figure A.2: View under the mtc-block. We have a recruitment block, a fascicle
block, a serial elastic block and a mass block. The recruitment block turns the
normalized activation into stimulation for each fascicle. The fascicle block calculates the fascicle force. The serial elastic block calculates the pulling force on
the skeleton. The mass block keeps track of the fascicle length and contraction
speed.
Figure A.3: The recruitment block. It models the recruitment of the muscle
units. In this block the activation is turned into stimulation stim for each
fascicle or muscle-unit. The numbering of input is done from top to bottom.
The switch is set to recruitment threshold ur If input 1 is larger than the
recruitment threshold it will pass, else the value will be set to zero, so it will
not be recruited.
