  1. Download the OpenSim beta software and workshop files:
    1. Windows
    2. Mac
  2. Unzip the files to a location of your choice; perhaps C:\opensim-core-dw2018 (on Windows).
  3. If you use Windows, edit your PATH environment variable to include OpenSim’s bin directory (e.g., C:\opensim-core-dw2018\bin). See here for instructions. Make sure to remove any previous OpenSim installations from your PATH (alternatively, rename the folder containing the previous OpenSim installation).
  4. Configure OpenSim with Matlab by starting Matlab and running configureOpenSim.m, located in Resources/CodeExamples/Matlab/.
  5. After the script completes, restart Matlab and test the configuration by checking the timestamp from running 

     

    Code Block
    org.opensim.modeling.opensimCommon.GetVersionAndDate()

     

     in the Matlab command window; the date should be in May 2018. Test that the visualizer is working by running the following:

     

    Code Block
    >> m = org.opensim.modeling.Model()
    >> m.setUseVisualizer(true);
    >> m.initSystem();

    You should see an empty visualizer window.


Note for OpenSim 3.3 users: You cannot concurrently use OpenSim 3.3 and 4.0 in Matlab; to switch versions you must re-run configureOpenSim.m and edit your PATH environment variable.
