FEM Simulation with SOFA -> Quantifying Displacments and Forces

[SerkanErgunAAU]

Hello Guys,

I am quite new to SOFA and I am still learning about the functionalities of SOFA. I want to use SOFA for Robotics Applications. I know that SOFA does FEM, but is there a way to showcase forces and displacements in way that classic FEM programs handle it (Abaqus, Ansys, COMSOL,…)? Or is there any way to obtain them?

Thank you very much in advance,
Serkan Ergun from Klagenfurt University

Hi @serkan-ergun

Thank you very much for your interest in our platform for robotics objectives.
Exporting forces and displacement is possible. You can for instance use a VTKExporter.

See an example scene in examples/Components/misc/VTKExporter.scn

Let me know if this is what you are looking for.
Best,

Hugo
