Due to limited bandwidth that we may have at the workshop location, the software below should be downloaded and installed prior to the workshop.

Set up GitHub

Dymola 2020x

As this is a very large download, it is important to download and install Dymola and the compiler prior to the workshop.

Windows

Install Dymola 2020x trial version from Dassault. The instructions to access the non-trial license for the training will be sent by email.

Dymola requires the installation of a C/C++ compiler. We suggest to use Visual Studio Express 2013, https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/older-downloads/.

See http://www.3ds.com/products-services/catia/products/dymola/c-compiler/ for more information. Please also see the Dymola release notes for the compiler installation, which can be accessed by opening Dymola and selecting "Help -> Documentation" and selecting "Dymola Release Notes".
