Information provided above refers to the core components of the Open Systems Pharmacology Suite including PK-Sim®, MoBi®. Both, PK-Sim® and MoBi® can be installed as stand-alone software packages to reduce the disk space required.
The Open Systems Pharmacology Suite includes interfaces to MS Excel® and R (version 3.5 or 3.6, 64 bit). These are separate programs that are not available within the Open Systems Pharmacology Suite. You need to have these programs installed in order to use their interfaces!
Excel® is a registered trademark of Microsoft Inc., Redmond, USA; R is a product of the R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria.
To correctly install the software, administrator rights are necessary. If you do not have these rights, your IT-administrator should carry out the installation.
The modular structure of the Open Systems Pharmacology Suite is explained in Modules, Philosophy, and Building Blocks. Both PK-Sim® and MoBi® can be installed stand-alone. However, to obtain full modeling and simulation capabilities, we recommend that both programs are installed.
