Computational models have been seminal in expanding our understanding of how neural, biomechanical, or physical elements can give rise to behavior. With the forthcoming emergence of nearly complete connectomes of the central nervous system, musculature, and biomechanics of Drosophila, it is only now possible to construct models grounded in anatomy and physiology. Biological experiments, in reciprocity, could complement these models, verifying and enhancing their accuracy. Here, we leverage a biomechanical model of Drosophila to build, for the first time, a Hill-type muscle model using X-ray sc
