General information
OpenSim is an open source software system for biomechanical modeling, simulation and analysis. We will introduce OpenSim and demonstrate a typical musculoskeletal modeling workflow in OpenSim (using the GUI) with a hands-on example. Additionally, we give short presentations to highlight the added clinical value and potential of musculoskeletal simulations.
Preparation for the seminar
Participants should bring a laptop with OpenSim installed or be prepared to team up with other participants. OpenSim model files and setup files are written in xml mark down format. Notepad++ is a free text editor that makes it easier to view and edit these xml files. During the workshop we will use Notepad++ to examine OpenSim files. Hence, please download and install following software prior to the workshop.
- OpenSim 4.4 (https://simtk.org/frs/?group_id=91)
- Notepad++ (https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/v7.8/)
Please bring your laptop and a mouse for carrying out the hands-on exercises at the seminar.
We encourage all participant to complete the ‘Tutorial 1 – Intro to Musculoskeletal Modeling’ prior to the seminar.
