And while I'm at it, is there any plan to make it run on Python?
I do know how much work it takes to convert such large projects to different languages and platforms, so I am really just asking in case it is already in the works.
Hey,
Sorry for the late reply, looks like I don't get notifications for new issues.
I would like to test it, but I mostly run on Linux, and preferably on a server. Do you by any chance plan to support Linux?
There are no concrete plans to support Linux. We use a beefy desktop computer (windows) when we want to run a lot of simulations, but I can see that it would be convenient if simulations could also run on a server or supercomputer node that uses Linux.
The PredSim code has only one Windows-specific part (as far as I'm aware), and there are plans to change this part in the next few months.
Part of the pre-processing relies on OpenSimAD (submodule) to generate some files used by the simulation. Getting this to run on Linux will be more challenging. Worst case, we have to run pre-processing on a Windows machine and then transfer the files to the Linux server to run the actual simulation.

No, but you could check this out: https://github.com/antoinefalisse/predsim_tutorial
Thank you for your answer! I'm not currently on it right now, but I will probably get back to it and keep you updated.

Additional context
Are you willing to contribute in the development of this feature?
No. I don't think I have the skills.
Dear PredSim community, Thank you for releasing such a nice tool! I would like to test it, but I mostly run on Linux, and preferably on a server. Do you by any chance plan to support Linux? Best regards
