Prosthetic Design using Openmodelica, Open Cascade, Opensimulator (Opensim), Rigs of Rods, or Febio Open-Source Software

Recently, I posted "Low Cost - PROSTHETICS & ORTHOTICS - Design Resources - Open Source"

******************************************************************************

Related to that, here is some commonly used open-source software used in designing Prosthetics:

• "OPENMODELICA is an open-source Modelica-based modeling and simulation environment intended for industrial and academic usage. Its long-term development is supported by a non-profit organization – the Open Source Modelica Consortium (OSMC)." - User's Guides & Tutorials

• "Open CASCADE Technology, 3D modeling & numerical simulation - Open CASCADE Technology is a software development platform freely available in open source. It includes C++ components for 3D surface and solid modeling, visualization, data exchange and rapid application development." - Tutorial and User's Guides

• "OpenSimulator is an open source multi-platform, multi-user 3D application server. It can be used to create a virtual environment (or world) which can be accessed through a variety of clients, on multiple protocols. It also has an optional facility (the Hypergrid) to allow users to visit other OpenSimulator installations across the web (aka Metaverse) from their 'home' OpenSimulator installation." - User's Guides, Tutorials, etc.

• "Rigs of Rods is an open source vehicle simulator based on soft-body physics - .....unique soft-body physics: vehicles, machines, objects, etc. are simulated in real-time as flexible soft-body objects, giving the simulation an extremely accurate behavior which entirely depends on the physical construction of the vehicles or objects you create." - Tutorials

• "The FEBio software suite is a set of software tools for nonlinear finite element analysis in biomechanics and biophysics.....specifically focused on solving nonlinear large deformation problems in biosolid mechanics...." - Examples and Tutorials
