Abstract Background and Objective: Cardiac electrophysiology is a medical specialty with a
long and rich tradition of computational modeling. Nevertheless, no community standard for
cardiac electrophysiology simulation software has evolved yet. Here, we present the
openCARP simulation environment as one solution that could foster the needs of large parts
of this community. Methods and Results: openCARP and the Python-based carputils
framework allow developing and sharing simulation pipelines which automate in silico …

Methods and Results openCARP and the Python-based carputils framework allow
developing and sharing simulation pipelines which automate in silico experiments including
all modeling and simulation steps to increase reproducibility and productivity. The
continuously expanding openCARP user community is supported by tailored infrastructure.
Documentation and training material facilitate access to this complementary research tool for
new users. After a brief historic review, this paper summarizes requirements for a high …
