SOFA Workshop

In the scope of the SPM/SMI conferences, the SOFA Consortium will organize a training session providing the mathematical, physical and computer science backgrounds in order to start in the best conditions with the simulation framework SOFA.

SOFA is an open-source framework for multi-physics simulation and is being developed for more than 14 years. Today, SOFA benefits from a large international community made up of research centers and companies. The SOFA core has a LGPL license (permissive and non-contaminating) fostering development of prototypes and products under any commercial license.

The agenda of the training is detailed below:

• Overview of SOFA and its community
• Examples of applications with SOFA
• User Tutorial
• Understand physics with SOFA: from the math to the code
• Developer Tutorial
