1st International SOFA Week


The 1st International SOFA Week took place from the 5th to the 9th of November 2018, in Strasbourg (France). The event appeared to be a great success within the community. The organization of the next SOFA Week 2019 will start early 2019!


A complete article is available on this 2018 event.

For the SOFA Week 2018, the schedule was arranged as follows:

Day 1

SOFA training session – 5th Nov 2018

To start the SOFA week, a training session was organized in order to introduce new users to SOFA (its community, the open-source code and examples of applications), to provide the theoretical backgrounds on physics simulation, to finally work on both user and developer tutorials.

Day 2

International SOFA Symposium (free) – 6th Nov 2018

The Symposium focused on research and scientific achievements based on SOFA. This symposium allowed international researchers from the SOFA community to present their scientific work, their plugins and propose live demonstrations. It was the opportunity to meet the community, create collaborations and meet the SOFA industrial partners.

Day 3
(morning)

SOFA plugin session – 7th Nov 2018

Further to the Symposium, an advanced training sessions was proposed to discover and understand specific open-source SOFA plugins. More precisely, this session aimed at providing a specific insight in the SoftRobot plugin and the Model Reduction plugin, two recent and state-of-the-art work for robotics and efficient computations.

Days 3-5

6th SOFA Technical Committee (free) – 7-9th Nov 2018

This Committee focused on technical discussions and decisions on current and future developments in SOFA in order to define the roadmap of the next release. With the Technical Members of the consortium, the technical roadmap of the upcoming releases was thus defined. It was also the opportunity to meet the SOFA dev community and code all together!

SOFA Plugin Session

Day: Morning only, 07th November 2018
Location: IHU Strasbourg (Meeting room, ground floor)
Level: Medium – Advanced

This training session aims at providing an insight on innovative (yet open-source) plugins of SOFA.
