Dear All,
I've just released some instructional videos to help people get started using GaitSym2019. They are on YouTube at:
The models and software that you will need if you want to try out the exercises are on GitHub at:
And the latest binary release for Windows, Mac and Linux is at:
GaitSym2019 is quite a big rewrite with a lot of emphasis on creating new models quickly, and implementing control systems for modelling autonomous simulations. If you have the required anatomical data (bone and skin 3D models and knowledge of joint and muscle parameters), you can build the whole model using the GUI interface in under a day (well it does depend how complicated your model is, but it is really very quick). There is a lot of automation including generating laterally symmetric elements, and generating muscle drivers to test the full range of motion, as well as generating mass properties from segment volumes (ideally skin outlines). There are several hominoid models available but it is not backwardly compatible, although there is a python script that will convert the older models and it is actually rather easy to convert models written for other systems too although they all have features that don't convert exactly.
Have fun, and if anyone has any questions then please ask.
Cheers
