Hello Anna Chiara,<br>
<br>
For the moment, MORSE does not include this sort of force sensors in
joints. So far, the main developers of MORSE have not approached this
sort of simulation, so it remains an open area for development.
However, maybe other people in the Blender community may have worked on
similar problems.<br>
<br>
It should be possible to measure forces in Blender, but the physics
engine used by default (Bullet) is not extremely precise. It will
depend on what exactly you want to model.<br>
If you can provide more details, we can give you a better insight on
how to deal with this kind of sensors.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Gilberto Echeverria<br>

I am working on a robot simulation project ( <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.airobots.eu/">http://www.airobots.eu/</a> ) with
Blender and I am trying to do something which I'm sure someone else has
already done, so I'm asking for directions: I need to model passive
compliant joints and detect the forces acting on them. I guess that the
way is through Blender's rigid body joint constraint , possibly the
6DofSpringConstraint, but I'm not really sure about it and I really
don't know which would be the best solution.<br>
<br>
In our project, we are using MORSE for sensors/actuators/middleware, so
if anyone had a MORSE-specific solution or suggestion, that would be
great.<br>
<br>
Any ideas?<br>
<br>
Thank you in advance<br>
<br>
