No. It runs in a current web browser. You can also install it from the browser as an app, and it keeps working without a connection for models already opened.

If you need functions defined in MATLAB, Excel or a user DLL, or you need to co-simulate with Simulink, desktop Working Model 2D for Windows is the only choice. The desktop version is also the choice for Python functions that need packages other than NumPy, SciPy and SymPy, or heavy computation at every step. Otherwise either version will work: Python functions linked to inputs, for example to drive a motor’s torque, work the same way in both.

It uses the same physics engine and model code, with virtually every modeling feature. It includes Python scripting and video export (MP4 or WebM, depending on the browser); the Excel and MATLAB links are coming, and WM Basic and VBScript scripts do not run in the browser. See Web and desktop compared.

No. Working Model 2D Web opens and saves Working Model 2D files (.wm2d) only. Interactive Physics models open in Interactive Physics Web.

Yes. Open and save models in Google Drive or OneDrive from the app, or, in Drive, right-click a model and choose “Open with > Working Model 2D”.

Yes. Working Model 2D files open in the browser, and files saved in the browser open on the desktop. Models with WM Basic or VBScript scripts open, but the scripts do not run in the browser.

Yes. Closed outlines become polygons and open ones become lines, and you can convert them to lines, polygons or curved slots. Models can also be exported as DXF.

The interface is in English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Dutch, Portuguese (Brazil) and Spanish. The library and help are in English.
