[SOLVED] Add curve paramater to an instrument

[Bence]

Hi,

Is it possible, that add an automating curving parameter to an instrument?
For example if the lenght of the instrument is 3 mm lenght, than it will turn a bit, and doesn’t moving straight anymore.

Like this (from 1:10 ):

Thank!

Hi @bence

I am sorry I sent you a reply that apparently never succeeded.
In the open-source core of SOFA, the only possibility to create curved shapes with beam elements is to load a mesh including a curved geometry made of edges.

However, in the plugin for catheters (name: BeamAdapter), you have the possibility to describe a curved geometry for such catheter models. To know more about this code, please see the associated Marketplace item.
