Dear Hugo and all,

Good news!! With your help, I was able to compile SOFA and successfully run the demo/example Geomagic plugin scenes (liver, skull).

All who contributed deserve much praise for such a powerful program. I will be trying to write a journal paper soon and will credit SOFA as many times as I can.

Next I will try to build my own scene; I will keep you updated!

Thanks,
Brian

If anyone can think of anything, please let me know. I will try to learn more about scene files and attempt to write one.

I will also try to build in release version somehow.

Thanks everyone.

Also, how can I build the release version? I had no intention of using the debug version.

First I wanted to thank you for helping me out. I really appreciate your time.

So I tried with a random device name and it did give an error as it should. Here is the output:

I’ll keep trying to find the issue.

Sorry for formatting issue. I am relatively new at the forums. It appears that this error is a result of having a developer version of the toolkit as opposed to a commercial license. Is that why it will not operate?

Thanks,
Brian

I have not changed anything in a scene file. How would I change the scene file with the sample liver model so that the haptic device can be used with it?

Here is the output:

I see a field in CMake called ‘CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES’ and its value was ‘Debug;Release;MinSizeRel;RelWithDebInfo’

I will try to change the field to just ‘Release’ and compile again.

Thanks,
Brian

Hi Hugo,

I had installed the haptic device back in January and the Geomagic diagnostic confirms that it is connected and working.

Then I close the Geomagic diagnostic and try to open Sofa by going to:
C:\Users\Brian\SofaInstall\v16.12\build\bin\Debug\runSofa_d

I know of no other .exe file to open and run other than this debug mode file. It opens Sofa and I can use it with my computer mouse, but the device does nothing in the program. I went to the Sofa ‘Plugin Manager’ and made sure Geomagic was there.

Should I try again from scratch? I just don’t know how to get the device working in the program as the mouse.

Let me know if I can provide any more pertinent info.

Thanks,
Brian

Dear Hugo,

I think I have compiled it because it says ‘loaded plugin…Geomagic…dll’ when I first click on the file:
C:\Users\Brian\SofaInstall\v16.12\build\bin\Debug\runSofa_d.exe

It opens after a few minutes (slow computer). The program does not seem to recognize the haptic touch device as a mouse controller. Is there another step to activate it? Sorry for the confusion; there are many files in the ‘build’ folder and I’m just having trouble connecting the last dot.

Thanks,
Brian Boland

So I tried again from scratch and got a little bit further. This time the CMake configured and generated. The Visual Studio build failed.

About an hour or so into it, I get a window called ‘devenv.exe – Application Error’ with the text: “The exception unknown software exception (0xe0434352) occured in the application at location 0x76510f22.”

Any ideas? I checked the box for Geomagic. Am I supposed to run CMake for the plugin itself, before running CMake for SOFA? Please advise.

Thanks,
Brian
