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.
