Antimony: A modular human-readable, human-writeable model definition language

2.0

Antimony is a text-based model definition language originally based on Jarnac, and extended to be fully modular. Antimony models can be converted to and from SBML, flattening the modularity in the process. See also: Features of the Antimony language

For more information and to reference Antimony, see our article in Bioinformatics.

Downloads

All users:

• Windows Antimony installer v2.0 - includes QTAntimony (the GUI editor and SBML translator), as well as the command-line translators sbml2antimony.exe and antimony2sbml.exe. Version 2.0 can also now translate to and from CellML.
• Windows Antimony installer v2.1-beta - This version of QTAntimony can create SBML Level 3 using 'Hierarchical Model Composition' ('comp') structures to retain the model's hierarchy, instead of being flattened.
• QTAntimony for Mac OSX v1.4 - the Antimony GUI editor and SBML translator, compiled for Mac OSX (note: we hope to have v2.0 and v2.1-beta releases up here soon).
• This documentation.

Developers:

• Source code - a full package including the source code for libAntimony and QTAntimony as well as all documentation. (You will also need libSBML v5.0.0 or higher to be able to translate to SBML, and the CellML SDK to be able to translate to CellML.)
• Windows binaries v2.0 - includes the needed include/ and .lib files to program with libAntimony.
• Windows binaries v2.1-beta - includes the needed include/ and .lib files to program with libAntimony.
• Other Downloads - The above packages as well as previous versions.
