OpenSim South is a low-key event which is free to attend, with the purpose of getting people doing applied simulation work, primarily in the computational mechanics field, with open-source software in the Western Cape together in a room to network and discuss common issues. Presentations could focus on strengths and/or challenges of using various open-source simulation packages within a given field, comparisons with alternative tools and reviews or experiences of new open-source codes.
It attempts to complement the original OpenSIM seminar (which is held in Gauteng) and provide a similar opportunity for researchers and engineers operating in the Western Cape.
