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 algo
- rithms with algorithms
- already included in SOFA
- * modify most parameters of the simulation - deformable behavior,
- surface representation,
- solver, constraints, collision algorithm, etc. - by simply edit
- ing an XML file
- * 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

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.
