Pelvis interface load cell and discrete element ID
The figure above shows the T12 area. The upper rigid beam is merged to the spine and the lower rigid beam is merged to the upper lumbar spine adapter plate. Between the rigid beams a discrete beam is located to determine the T12 forces and moments. The table below gives details on the extraction of the loads.
| Item | Beam ID | Component |
|---|---|---|
| Pelvis force x-direction (Shear force) |
10002 | axial |
| Pelvis force z-direction (Tension force) |
10002 | Shear-t |
| Pelvis moment y-direction (Bending moment) |
10002 | moment-s |
