We're excited to announce the next webinar in our series, as well as several other upcoming events and opportunities.

OpenSim 3.1 includes expanded scripting capabilities, enhancements to the graphical user interface, many new modeling components, new examples, and important bug fixes. Read more about the new features we've added for OpenSim 3.1 and download the software.

Try out our new and updated examples
We've continued to expand the library of OpenSim examples. Some of our new or recently updated examples, include:

• Simulation-Based Design to Reduce Metabolic Cost, featuring many example GUI scripts
• Simulation-Based Design to Prevent Ankle Injuries, demonstrating the new simulation toolbar
  
• Dynamic Walking Challenge: Go the Distance!, including many Matlab model-building and simulation scripts

We have also posted several examples from the advanced modeling and simulation course offered at Stanford this past spring:

• Pulling Out the Stops: Designing a Muscle for a Tug-of-War Competition
• Sky High: Coordinating Muscles for Optimal Jump Performance
• From the Ground Up: Building a Passive Dynamic Walker Model

The National Center for Simulation in Rehabilitation Research (NCSRR) and OpenSim project at Stanford seek proposals for our pilot project program. The program awards seed grants to innovative and meritorious projects that will accelerate the use of simulation in rehabilitation research. Applications are due by August 30.
