Licensing

COPASI is a software application for simulation and analysis of biochemical networks. COPASI is free for Non−Commercial Use. Commercial use of COPASI is available through a Non-Exclusive Software License Agreement. Please see commercial access for details on how to purchase the package online.

Development Releases

We are now offering frequent development releases which can be found in our download area. The latest development version of COPASI is Version 4.4.29 (development) released January 5, 2009. Development versions contain new features and bug fixes. However, they are not as thoroughly tested as stable releases and therefor may be not as reliable.

UPDATED 04/19/2009: COPASI's documentation in PDF format (4.42 Mb) and HTML format.

COPASI paper published:

An article describing COPASI has been published. People who are publishing scientific results obtained with the help of COPASI are asked to reference this paper:
  • Hoops, S., Sahle, S., Gauges, R., Lee, C., Pahle, J., Simus, N., Singhal, M., Xu, L., Mendes, P., and Kummer, U. (2006). COPASI — a COmplex PAthway SImulator. Bioinformatics 22, 3067-74.

Current Features:

    • Chemical reaction network.
    • Arbitrary kinetic functions.
    • ODEs for compartments, species, and global quantities.
    • Assignments for compartments, species, and global quantities.
    • Initial assignments for compartments, species, and global quantities.
  • Analysis:
    • Stochastic and deterministic time course simulation
    • Steady state analysis (including stability).
    • Metabolic control analysis/sensitivity analysis.
