the graphical user interface, many new modeling components, new
examples, and important bug fixes. Read more about the <a href="http://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:8080/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=5114264" target="_blank">new features</a>
we've added for OpenSim 3.1 and <a href="https://simtk.org/project/xml/downloads.xml?group_id=91" target="_blank">download the software</a>.<br><br><b><font size="4">Try out our new and updated examples</font></b><br>
We've continued to expand the library of OpenSim examples. Some of our new or recently updated examples, include:<br><ul><li><a href="http://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:8080/display/OpenSim/Simulation-Based+Design+to+Reduce+Metabolic+Cost">Simulation-Based Design to Reduce Metabolic Cost</a>, featuring many example GUI scripts</li>
