About Vicon ProCalc
ProCalc is a software application that makes it easy to develop, implement, test and routinely run biomechanical models calculating kinematic variables, parameters and events. ProCalc is based on a graphical user interface (GUI), and does not require the use of a script language.
This guide aims to demonstrate how to build a basic biomechanical model.
The following information is included:
- Step 1 - Load data
- Step 2 - Define input parameters
- Step 3 - Define variables
- Step 4 - Define events
- Step 5 - Define parameters
- Step 6 - Process trials
- Further resources

About the data for this tutorial
To follow this tutorial, navigate to C:\Program Files\Vicon\ProCalc\Help and unzip the ProCalc Tutorials Data file. Choose a path or directory that has sufficient read/write permissions and that you can remember and access easily (e.g. C:\Users\Public\Documents\Vicon). If you have completed a ProCalc tutorial in the past, you may have already completed this step.
For this tutorial, we will use the Getting Started session. Within this folder, there is one trial (Walking01.c3d).
To access the trials in ProCalc, ensure you have a hierarchy that looks like the following example, though the specific path will depend on the location of your extracted data.
