Open Registration
14th Nov 2022: Training session
To start the SOFA week, a training session will take place to provide new users (and any interested participant) an efficient introduction to SOFA. The training focuses on the SOFA main principles, the community, theoretical backgrounds on physics simulation, hands-on user and developer tutorials.
15th Nov 2022: International SOFA Symposium (free)
The symposium focuses on research and scientific achievements based on SOFA. This symposium allows international researchers from the SOFA community to present their scientific work, their plugins and propose live demonstrations. It is also the annual meeting where companies using SOFA can demonstrate their latest products. Finally, it is the opportunity to meet the community and create strong collaborations.
16-18th Nov 2022: Technical committee (free)
This committee focuses on technical discussions on current and future developments in SOFA. With developers of the community and SOFA Technical Members, the technical roadmap for the next release is jointly designed.

All contributions are eligible for application: it can be an open-source plugin, a pull-request on GitHub, a video, a tutorial or documentation pages! Two award categories are open for competition:
| Organizers’ Prize Prize: 600€ |
Public Prize Prize: 400€ |
|---|
The call for the SOFA awards is open until the 11th of November 2022. Any contribution – as long it is open – will be rewarded at the SOFA Week 2022. Winners will be announced during the Symposium on 15th November.
Candidates
| Memento Memory | Scheikl, Paul | Trying to use sofa as a simulation environment for Reinforcement Learning, I discovered a few bugs and memory leaks that would not occur for “normal” usage of SOFA. I would like to present my workflow of finding and fixing them. |
| SofaCutting plugin | Poliakov, Vladimir | For the past six months, I have been working on the SofaCutting plugin. This plugin allows quasi-online simulation of cutting in SOFA with a following offline optimization of the mesh. The current state is about 40-50% ready.
Cutting is implemented using the default collision pipeline. To do so, an additional attribute named domain has been added to the collision model class, which works exactly opposite to the group attribute (collision is tested if domain == domain and group != group). At the moment, offline optimization is not implemented. Once done, quasi-online cutting can be updated to be performed online. To match the cut with the visual model, the surface mesh is derived from the volumetric topology and refined online using OpenSubdiv. |
| Linear Solver on GPU | Despierre, Stéphane | Among the SOFA community, some use this framework for high fidelity simulation. There is a need to have an efficient linear solver to compute simulations with a large number of degrees of freedom (ex:Model Order Reduction).
To that end, I used the Nvidia toolkit to allow the usage of a GPU on the resolution of linear systems. This new solver keeps the optimizations already available in the previous sparse solvers (precomputed symbolic decomposition, fill-in reducing permutations). This plugin is ready and released. |
| JSON Reader | Bilger, Alexandre | JsonReader is a SOFA plugin adding the ability to read SOFA scenes written in the json format.
The plugin is open-source and hosted on GitHub. It has a GitHub action to check its compatibility against the master branch of SOFA. A release is also deployed. Scene examples are provided. |
| Tearing plugin | Pernod, Erik | The Tearing plugin allows to simulate the tearing phenomena on triangular and tetrahedral meshes using Stress values analysis on Finite Element Method.
The plugin provides SOFA engines to be used directly inside simulation scenes but also API classes to be used directly inside other algorithms or user interactions (mouse, haptic, direct control). The Triangular version is totally open-source and use algorithms available inside SOFA master. The tetrahedral version use the private MeshRefinement plugin, available on demand on the marketplace. Plugin is hosted on GitHub under GPL license with examples, tests and GitHub Actions using SOFA master and last release. |
| Reusable Open-Source Virtual Twin of the 4-wheel SumitXL robotics platform | Dedo, Fabrice | Our contribution for the SofaAward is an open source virtual twin for the SummitXL, a 4 wheels robotics platform made by https://robotnik.eu/. The virtual twin is implemented following the “Prefab” principles to allow re-usability in third party projects.
Our virtual twin implementation key features:
