SimVascular December 2025 Release
by David W. Parker 22 Dec '25

22 Dec '25

Dear SimVascular Users, A new SimVascular December 2025 Release has been added to the SimTK SimVascular web page. This release fixes many of the bugs introduced with the SimVascular external package updates. The svSolver and svFSI solvers have been replaced by svMultiPhysics and will no longer be supported. There is no native build for SimVascular on Windows. Windows users can use WSL to run SimVascular from an Ubuntu terminal. There are installers on the SimTK SimVascular web page for * MacOS ARM * MacOS Intel * Ubuntu 22 and 24 An Ubuntu 25 installer will be available the second week in January 2026. SimVascular may fail to start because of missing libraries. Each installer describes which libraries are most likely to be missing and how to install them. Please post to the SimVascular Forum if you encounter any problems.

New SimVascular release and new documentation
by David W. Parker 05 Sep '25

05 Sep '25

Dear SimVascular users, I have added new installers to SimTK SimVascular Downloads. Each installer has notes that describe any additional system libraries that may need to be installed for SimVascular to run. Installers are provided for Ubuntu 22 and 24 and MacOS ARM and Intel. I have also added an Installing SimVascular<https://simvascular.github.io/documentation/getting_started.html#installing> section to the Getting Started documentation. I hope this will help you identify and fix any problems you might have when running SimVascular. There is currently no plan to provide a native Windows SimVascular version since we believe that Windows users can use Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) to run SimVascular. If you are having problems using WSL then please let us know and we will work with you to get you up and running. The Installing SimVascular<https://simvascular.github.io/documentation/getting_started.html#installing> documentation contains a detailed description about how to set up WSL to run SimVascular. Please post to the Forum any problems you find with the latest release or open a GitHub Issue. Cheers, Dave --------------------------------------------------------------- David Parker, PhD Senior Research Software Engineer Stanford Research Computing Center Marsden Cardiovascular Biomechanics Computation Lab Stanford University https://cbcl.stanford.edu/ www.simvascular.org<http://www.simvascular.org>
