Hello! I am using Mathematica to analyse rigid body models of human motion.
Unfortunately, I am unable to use Mathematica to do a numerical integration
of a system of ODE's until a specified function of the solution is zero.
(i.e. I need a function that can numerically integrate a system of first
order ordinary differential equations over a range with suitable initial
conditions, until a user-specified function, if supplied, of the solution
is zero). Can you please tell me whether Mathematica has the capacity to do
this in some way - or are there Mathematica packages that can do this? All
I can find is NDSolve.
The importance of being able to do this is paramount. For instance, if
modelling throwing action, there comes a point in time when the elbow
locks, and the arm is straight. I need to able to determine this point in
order to continue the solution for when the arm begins to flex.
Looking forward to your help.
