Follow these steps to compute the distance maps:

  1. Get required data files into the data root directory
    1. get the bone Geomagic meshes in OpenInventor format (e.g., <bone_tag>.iv)
    2. get the "animation file" for each bone, (e.g., <bone_tag>_anim.RT)
    3. get anatomical coordinate system for each bone (e.g., <bone_tag>_coord.dat)
  2. Prepare scripts
    1. copy the "joints_one_linux" and "joints_linux" from $G/bin/jspBin/ to your data's top-level directory
    2. replace "set data_directory" lines in both with the path to your directory
    3. replace bone tags with the ones of interest (e.g., bone_tag_1=sca15L and bone_tag_2=lun15L)
    4. see further options at $G/src/jspBin/trail_contact_areas.txt
  3. Run scripts
    1. ./joints_one_linux
    2. ./joints_linux
