The SOFA team is pleased to welcome you in the community. Here are a few tips to get you started:
– the SOFA User Documentation will tell you everything about what is SOFA, how it works and how to build a simulation.
– the online introduction to SOFA will provide a generic introduction to the main principles of SOFA, along with a user tutorial.
We are a pretty active team, available every day on Discord, Reddit, GitHub and on the SOFA Discussions forum. Come say hi 
Let us remind you that SOFA is an open-source project with full-time engineers working hard to make it always better. Recurring and one-time donations will significantly help the SOFA Consortium improving the documentation and the tutorials, adding more tests and examples, providing support to all users of the open-source community and working on sustained development toward roadmap objectives.
The SOFA Consortium is administratively hosted by Inria, as part of the non-profit InriaSoft mission. Inria and its Foundation handle your donations for the SOFA initiative so that the consortium can fullfill its mission. Your donation is tax-deductible (66%) in France.
