We are pleased to announce the following new features, bug fixes, and other improvements in OpenSim 4.5. The new software includes improvements to the look and feel of the GUI, published Conda and Docker packages, additional Moco functionality, and the introduction of FunctionBasedPath for function-based muscle wrapping. We also now distribute a version of the Rajagopal model with the OpenSim resources folder included in the OpenSim application. Release notes are provided below along with links to full change logs for more detail.Notes View License

An update to version 2.0.1 that includes some important bug-fixes, updated models for the tutorials and new Model Components including a Bushing-Force and Spring-GeneralizedForce.Notes View License
First public release of the OpenSim modeling API. OpenSim is now fully compliant with the SimTK architecture. Contact functionality has been introduced as well as a faster and more robust integrator from SimTK. A set of programming examples utilizing the API, a Developers' Guide, and Doxygen documentation are also included. The API allows users to create their own modeling components programmatically including Actuators, Controllers and Analyses, perform Optimization studies and embed OpenSim into their own environment. This release also includes enhancements to support multiple external forces, and an updated User's Guide.Notes View License
