NAME
sofa - SOFA GUI
SYNOPSIS
sofa [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
SOFA is an Open Source framework primarily targeted at real-time
simulation, with an emphasis on medical simulation. It is mostly
intended for the research community to help develop newer algorithms,
but can also be used as an efficient prototyping tool. Based on an
advanced software architecture, it allows to:
* create complex and evolving simulations by combining new
algorithms with algorithms
already included in SOFA
deformable behavior, surface representation,
* modify most parameters of the simulation â solver,
by simply editing an XML file
constraints, collision algorithm, etc. â * build complex models from
simpler ones using a scene-graph description
* efficiently simulate the dynamics of interacting objects using
abstract equation solvers
* reuse and easily compare a variety of available methods
OPTIONS
-h --help
this help
-s --start
start the animation loop (default: 0 )
-p --factory
In addition to the baz segments, also parse the blurfl headers.
-g --gui
choose the UI (batch|qt|glut) (default: qt )
-l --load
load given plugins (default: )
AUTHORS
SOFA is currently developed by 3 INRIA teams: Alcove, Evasion and
Asclepios but the project also benefited from the help of the CIMIT Sim
Group, ETH Zurich and CSIRO.
