SimBiology Viewer suggestion for sharing models
Hello,
We're working with a vendor to expand one of our current models that's written in SimBiology, but that vendor doesn't have a license to SimBiology. It would be nice if there existed a "Simbiology Viewer" which can be downloaded as a free Matlab package, and which would allow one to view but not edit SimBiology models. Are there any plans for something like this in the future? Something like this would make it much easier to share our models with people who don't have a license to SimBiology.
On a similar note, does anyone have any advice on the best ways to share SimBiology models currently? I noticed there's some functionality to export the tables of reactions, parameters, species, etc., and there's also some functionality to export the model into SBML.
Thank you,
Abed

Hi Abed,
Thanks for your question. We'd be interested to hear more what you would like this "SimBiology Viewer" to be able to do. What functionality should it have, e.g. view the model equations, model diagram? What about simulations and other analyses?
Currently, we have have two ways you could tackle this:
- Use MATLAB Compiler to compile your model into an app that you can share with your collaborator. Here you have two options: your collaborator can download the MATLAB Runtime (free) and simulate the model as a standalone executable, or you could host the app through a server (WebApp server).
- Export the model as equations, as tables or as SBML
Here are some relevant links to materials:
