Apply for the Next Virtual Workshop for Advanced OpenSim Users
October 24 -28, 2016

Applications Due September 23
Building on the success of our first virtual workshop this spring, we are pleased to announce the next event will take place over the course of one week in October. The goal of the workshop is to accelerate the research projects of OpenSim community members. Participants will work on their projects, with support and advice from the Stanford University OpenSim team and each other. The event will span one week, including two video conference meetings, along with daily chat forum support. It is expected that participants have already begun to use OpenSim for their project. Teams of applicants are highly encouraged. Learn more and apply.

OpenSim Part of Course on Open Source Tools for Biomechanics

Last week the OpenSim team, led by Chris Dembia of Stanford University, participated in a one-day course on open-source software for biomechanics, organized by Kevin Moerman at the MIT Media Lab. Approximately 25 individuals attended and gained hands-on experience with the OpenSim application and MATLAB scripting interface. You can download the slides here. Attendees also learned how to use FEBio and GIBBON. A number of attendees were interested in combining OpenSim with finite element analyses.
