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

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.

And while I'm at it, is there any plan to make it run on Python?

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.
