.SH "NAME"
sofa \- SOFA GUI
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
sofa [OPTIONS]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
SOFA is an Open Source framework primarily targeted at real\-time simulation, with an emphasis
on medical simulation. It is mostly intended for the research community to help develop newer
algorithms, but can also be used as an efficient prototyping tool. Based on an advanced software
architecture, it allows one to:
* create complex and evolving simulations by combining new algorithms with algorithms
already included in SOFA
* modify most parameters of the simulation – deformable behavior, surface representation,
solver, constraints, collision algorithm, etc. – by simply editing an XML file
* build complex models from simpler ones using a scene\-graph description
* efficiently simulate the dynamics of interacting objects using abstract equation solvers
* reuse and easily compare a variety of available methods
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IP "\-h \-\-help"
this help
.IP "\-s \-\-start"
start the animation loop (default: 0 )
.IP "\-p \-\-factory"
In addition to the baz segments, also parse the
blurfl headers.
.IP "\-g \-\-gui"
choose the UI (batch|qt|glut) (default: qt )
.IP "\-l \-\-load"
load given plugins (default: )
.SH "AUTHORS"
SOFA is currently developed by 3 INRIA teams: Alcove, Evasion and Asclepios but the project also
benefited from the help of the CIMIT Sim Group, ETH Zurich and CSIRO.
