ABSTRACT 

The webinar will debut OpenSim 4.0, the forthcoming major release of our software for biomechanical modeling and simulation. OpenSim 4.0 includes updates and new features that will benefit users from beginner to advanced. With OpenSim 4.0, we've added:

  • A brand-new visualizer that is easy to use and creates high-quality images and movies
  • Mac and Windows compatibility
  • Streamlined data import and export, for example, allowing users to import C3D files directly
  • An improved interface (API) for creating customizable modeling and simulation studies, through both the Graphical User Interface and Matlab and Python scripting We will introduce these and other new features and use hands-on examples to demonstrate how they can accelerate your work.

INTENDED AUDIENCE 

Current OpenSim users of all levels and those interested in learning more about the software and getting started. Webinar Goals:

  • Explain the motivation for the OpenSim 4.0 development effort • Introduce the new features in the OpenSim 4.0 GUI and API
  • Demo the new features for visualization • Introduce some of the new tools for designing your own custom studies, such as outputting specific quantities of interest and building simple models
  • Point out key resources to get started with the new version of the software
