This dataset comprises the model input and output files and 3D skeletal geometries used in Cross et al., Exploring the accuracy of palaeobiological
modelling procedures in forward-dynamics simulations of maximum-effort vertical jumping. The data herein allows the user to replicate the
simulations described in the main text, as well as visualise and re-run our most optimal solutions. Please note that GaitSym 2017 is required
to run these files, this can be found as an open source download at: https://github.com/wol101/GaitSym_2017. 

Should you encounter any issues, please contact the corresponding author: Samuel.Cross@liverpool.ac.uk

Guineafowl: Contains the model files and 3D skeletal geometries used to investigate avian (guineafowl) jumping.

-------Bone geometries: This folder contains the 3D skeletal geometries in .OBJ format. The 36 individual files contains 
			seperate body parts (i.e. femur, head), which when loaded into GaitSym will be articulated in our 
			starting posture(s) (this is determined by the GaitSym model file). For the guineafowl, the entire
			skeleton is represented, though new users should note that this does not need to be loaded for the
			model to function and is purely for visualisation. Therefore, if checking many simulations, they may
			wish to visualise only the relevant parts to save loading time.

---GaitSym Models: Contains the input and output files from the simulations.

------Model Input Files: This folder contains the initial GaitSym model files used in the avian jumping simulations. These are
			 named such that 'Guineafowl_ModelX' contain the main analytical models (Models 1-3), whereas as
			 'Guineafowl_SA_X' contain the sensitivity models, which are all variants of Model 1. When combined with
			 standard GaitSym formatting (see https://github.com/wol101/GaitSym_2017), these files can be used to
			 repeat our simulations.

------Best Simulations: This folder contains the best simulations for each model detailed above (they are named identically to
			to the input files). Essentially, these files are structured the same as the input files except that the
			driver section contains optimised values, which allows these to be (re)played in GaitSym 2017. 

---Human: Contains the model files and 3D skeletal geometries used to investigate human jumping.

-------Bone geometries: This folder contains the 3D skeletal geometries in .OBJ format. The 15 individual files contains 
			seperate body parts (i.e. femur, shank), which when loaded into GaitSym will be articulated in our 
			starting posture(s) (this is determined by the GaitSym model file). For the human, the lower limb
			is represented, though new users should note that this does not need to be loaded for the
			model to function and is purely for visualisation. Therefore, if checking many simulations, they may
			wish to visualise only the relevant parts to save loading time.

---GaitSym Models: Contains the input and output files from the simulations.

------Model Input Files: This folder contains the initial GaitSym model files used in the human jumping simulations. These are
			 named following Human_Starting Posture_Model variant, and thus there are 9 models representing the 3
			 starting postures (extended, shallow crouch, deep crouch) and 3 model variants (1-3).  When combined 
			 with standard GaitSym formatting (see https://github.com/wol101/GaitSym_2017), these files can be used 
			 to repeat our simulations.

------Best Simulations: This folder contains the best simulations for each model detailed above (they are named identically to
			to the input files). Essentially, these files are structured the same as the input files except that the
			driver section contains optimised values, which allows these to be (re)played in GaitSym 2017.
