{Simple lower-leg model}
A schematic of a simple muscle model with skeleton appears in
Figure \Ref{fig:LowerLeg1_pic} and the acausal bond graph is
displayed in Figure \Ref{fig:LowerLeg1_abg.ps} and its label file
is listed in Section \Ref{sec:LowerLeg1_lbl.txt}. The subsystems
are listed in Section \Ref{sec:LowerLeg1_sub}. The model is a
rough approximation of the lower leg, knee joint and thigh muscles
with the lower leg horizontal.
The components are:
\begin{description}
\item[F\_1 and F\_2] the force inputs to the upper and lower muscles
\item[m\_1 and m\_2] the upper and lower muscles
\item[r\_1 and r\_2] the transformers reflecting the geometry of the
muscle attachments
\item[m] load mass
\item[mg] force due to gravity.
\end{description}
