This workshop covers advanced topics in OpenSim. The workshop is an opportunity to learn more about how OpenSim works "under the hood" and get supervised, hands-on assistance with problems participants bring to the workshop. On the first day, participants will introduce their projects. The second and third days will be devoted to working on problems participants bring to the workshop. Participants have the opportunity to work in small breakout groups with OpenSim experts on their research problems.

The tutorial assumes familiarity with Matlab, but experience with direct collocation methods is not required. Participants should bring a Mac or Windows (64-bit) laptop (and charger) with Matlab 2014b or later with Moco installed, or should be willing to team up with another participant. Instructions to set-up Moco are below. We are happy to help you with set-up on Tuesday, as well.
Setup Information
- Download Moco for Windows or Mac
- Unzip the OpenSim Moco ZIP file anywhere; for example, C:\opensim-moco
- If using Windows, set your PATH to include C:\opensim-moco\bin using the following steps:
- Start Menu > Search “environment” > “Edit the system environment variables” >
- Environment Variables… > Under System variables, select PATH and click Edit… >
- Add C:\opensim-moco\bin; to the beginning.
- Remove any entries for previous OpenSim installations.
- Start MATLAB (as Administrator on Windows) and run configureMoco.m, in:
- Windows: sdk/Scripts/Matlab
- Mac: share/doc/Moco/Scripts/Matlab
- Restart MATLAB and type >> m = org.opensim.modeling.Model(); m.setUseVisualizer(true); m.initSystem()
- You should see an empty Visualizer window.
- Close the empty Visualizer.
- Make exampleSitToStand your Current Folder:
- Windows: sdk/Scripts/Matlab/exampleSitToStand
- Mac: share/doc/Moco/Scripts/Matlab/exampleSitToStand
