Webinar: "Interfacing Musculoskeletal and Finite Element Models to Study Bone Structure and Adaptation" Tuesday, December 11, 2018 at 10:00am Pacific Standard Time Finite element modeling and rigid body modeling, such as that provided by OpenSim, are two common approaches for gaining insights into the musculoskeletal system. In this webinar, Luca Modenese and Andrew Phillips from Imperial College London will discuss when it is beneficial to integrate the two and share methodological solutions they have developed for doing so.

by Jennifer Hicks 14 Nov '18

14 Nov '18

*Join the Webinar* Registration for the webinar to debut OpenSim 4.0 filled up quickly, so we have opened up new spots. Register here <https://stanford.webex.com/stanford/onstage/g.php?MTID=e44c8649c1980509ab25…> . Please note that the link to register and attend the webinar has changed. If you registered previously, we ask that you register again using the link above. *Download OpenSim 4.0* You can also now download the official release of OpenSim 4.0 on our Simtk.org project page <https://simtk.org/frs/?group_id=91>. We're excited to share the software and look forward to seeing many of you online on Thursday. Additional details about the webinar and new software are provided below and you can also learn more on our website <http://opensim.stanford.edu/support/event_details.php?id=210&title=Webinar-…> . Best wishes, Jen -------------- Join us for our next webinar, where the Stanford University team will introduce the next release of OpenSim - version 4.0. We will give an overview of the software's new features and demo the new visualizer and other capabilities. *DETAILS* *Title*: Jumping into OpenSim 4.0 *Speakers*: Ayman Habib, Jennifer Hicks, Tom Uchida, and Ajay Seth, Stanford University *Time*: Thursday, November 15, 2018 at 10:30 a.m. Pacific Standard Time *Registration*: Registration is free but required, as space is limited. Click here to register <https://stanford.webex.com/stanford/onstage/g.php?MTID=e44c8649c1980509ab25…> . *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.
