Hi, I installed SOFA from the binaries, once I enter to runSofa.exe I can see the examples from SOFA and the plugins, but I can’t figure out how to start coding or maybe how to edit the tutorials.
For example, i opened the FirstSteps-tuto that is a .pyscn file and it opens normally, however when I make right click on the DefaultVisualManagerLoop and try to open the file in the editor, appears a black window that disappears in a few seconds
Any help would be great!!Welcome on the forum and congratulations for your first steps in SOFA.
To start with SOFA, I would advise the following steps:- follow the online documentation
- watch our first Tutorials on YouTube
- start using SOFA, running the examples/Tutorials (as you just did)
- read a reference paper about SOFA
- browse the SOFA API
Once you played with the existing examples, it is tempting to modify them. To do so, open the *.xml *.scn *.py or *.pyscn in an editor. You can start changing physical properties, add new components etc. We would like to work soon on video tutorials showing how to start editing a scene.
Once a simulation is started, if you want to look into any component in the scene, you can double click left, a window will open.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes,Hugo
