Workshop at TGCS 2017: Matlab Scripting in OpenSim 4.0
Learn how to use the Matlab scripting interface through a hands-on example and competition.
The OpenSim team from Stanford will hold a workshop as part of the 26th Congress of the International Society of Biomechanics (ISB). The workshop will be held at Southern Cross University's Gold Coast Campus. In this workshop, the OpenSim team will use a hands-on example to introduce the new features of OpenSim 4.0 that make scripting in MATLAB more powerful and user-friendly. The new OpenSim API (Application Programming Interface) in version 4.0 has been improved to simplify building model components, running simulations, performing analyses, and working with data files.
A hands-on example will teach participants how to build models and run simulations through the MATLAB scripting interface, by working with a simple computational model of a person jumping. The workshop will feature a friendly competition between participants to optimize the jumper's performance in a simulation.
