*Take the Dynamic Walker Challenge and Learn More about Model Building and
Scripting*
Our last OpenSim webinar, led by Daniel Jacobs, focused on using Matlab
scripting to build models and run simulations. The webinar also includes a
hands-on portion. Starting with the provided example files, you can build
your own walker and submit a video for the chance to win an OpenSim shirt.
