Today, we began designing the pieces to attach the insole to the calf section.  We will use this attachment, created in Inventor, and transfer it into MeshMixer to conjoin the sections. 

We will perfect this piece and then decide if we will need just one or two of these pieces, taking stability into account. We can use this one to test on the outside of the brace on the left foot or the inside of the brace on the right foot. If we decide we want an attachment on both sides of the foot, we will need to either mirror this part or construct a separate one. Then, with Boolean Union, we can join the soon-to-be-created insole with the attachment into one solid. After we finish this section of the brace, we will work on the elasticity function.
