OpenSim is software that lets users develop models of musculoskeletal structures and create dynamic simulations of movement.
This repository contains the source code for OpenSim's Java GUI, and does not include source code for the OpenSim core API.
NOTE: This repository contains version 4.0 GUI development and cannot be used to build OpenSim 3.x or earlier.
NOTE: Due to the small development team working on the GUI, we do not provide support for building or altering the OpenSim GUI source code. Advanced users can refer to the appveyor.yml or .travis.yml scripts in this folder.

The OpenSim GUI uses the open source Apache License 2.0 (see LICENSE.txt in this directory), making it suitable for commercial, government, academic, and personal use.
Third-party components have their own licenses; see LICENSE.txt, NOTICE.txt, and our Acknowledgements webpage for more information.
The OpenSim GUI's visualizer uses JxBrowser, which is a proprietary software. The use of JxBrowser is governed by JxBrowser Product Licence Agreement. If you would like to use JxBrowser in your development, please contact TeamDev.
The OpenSim project has received funding from the following grants and contracts:
Acknowledging the OpenSim project helps us and helps you. It allows us to track our impact, which is essential for securing funding to improve the software and provide support to our users (you). If you use OpenSim, we would be extremely grateful if you acknowledge us by citing the following paper.

If you use plugins, models, or other components contributed by your fellow researchers, you must acknowledge their work as described in the license that accompanies each of these files.
Currently, we only provide instructions for Windows. It is possible to build and run the GUI on OSX and Linux; though it is not thoroughly tested on these platforms. Linux builds are in beta. We will write instructions for OSX in the future; for now, you can follow the Windows and Linux instructions as a rough guide and/or refer to the Travis, Appveyor, or GitHub Actions CI configs.

BUILD_JAVA_WRAPPING=ON).C:/Program Files/NetBeans 8.0.2/extide/ant/bin/ant.exe).You can obtain some of these dependencies using the Chocolatey package manager. Get Chocolatey, open a new PowerShell window (run as Administrator), and run the following command:
choco install jdk8 netbeans-jee antInvoke CMake with the root of this repository as the source directory, and set the following CMake variables:
OpenSim_DIR: The directory containing OpenSimConfig.cmake.
.../opensim-core/cmake.Simbody_DIR: The directory containing SimbodyConfig.cmake.
.../opensim_dependencies_install/simbody/cmake.Ant_EXECUTABLE: If you want to use the Ant that comes with NetBeans, specify
something like C:/Program Files/NetBeans 8.0.2/extide/ant/bin/ant.exe.Use the CMake GUI to Configure and Generate project files for the Visual Studio 14 2015 generator.
Open NetBeans and open the NetBeans project in the repository located at
Gui/opensim. Even if you don't plan to use the NetBeans IDE to build the GUI,
this step is necessary to generate configuration files. The alternative is
to run Ant with the following additional command-line flags:
-Dnbplatform.default.netbeans.dest.dir="C:/Program Files/NetBeans 8.0.2"
-Dnbplatform.default.harness.dir="C:/Program Files/NetBeans 8.0.2/harness"We use these additional flags in our automated builds in AppVeyor.
The Visual Studio "solution" you generated earlier provides the following targets (none of which actually compile C++ code):
.java files from OpenSim-Core to GUI folder(s).
You should run this target even if you do not plan on packaging the
distribution. It is necessary for making sure you are using the correct
OpenSim-Core code.Gui/opensim/dist folder.opensim-models repository and set the
CMake variable MODELS_REPO, this copies standard models and the
Geometry folder to the install folder.If you plan to make changes to the GUI, you can now continue to use NetBeans to edit the Java source code and build and run the GUI.
Building on Linux is considered beta, and has only been tested with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, however, these instructions should work for other distributions with some modifications (eg package manager, package names, etc).
