Self learning this framework

[Barry Allen]

Hello there, I’ve just started using this framework recently. I’d like to get to know it more, is there any thread that are for newbie to be able to self studying from.

Thanks.

Dear @barryalen1992

As starting points, I would advise to consider:

• the online documentation providing the main principles of SOFA, information about components and explanation about how to start coding in SOFA
• a reference paper to understand the basis of physics of SOFA
• the online API description
• tutorials are available to launch with runSofa : see all scenes in the examples/ repository

To get involved in the SOFA project, the associated page on the SOFA website provides many useful information about

• how to ask help,
• how to report bugs,
• how to contribute,
• how to chat with the community

Moreover, if you are interested in really getting deep into the physics engine, I would be glad to propose you a dedicated training on SOFA. Such a service can also be made on-site if needed.

Eventually, if your institution has interest in SOFA and is willing to support the open-source project, let me know I would be pleased to provide you all details. SOFA really needs the support of all its users and developers.

Best regards,

Hugo
