[SOLVED] Sofa Binary with python env

[dabou]

Hi

I’m new here, I have just downloaded sofa binray from here https://project.inria.fr/softrobot/install-get-started-2/download/

With soft robotics and sofapython3 plugins, my question is how can i import sofa into python environment from the downloaded binary above?. Sorry for the noob question 🙂

Hey @dabou

I think the binaries available on the project.inria are not the latest one.
You can pick :
– the SOFA binary

Download aside all needed plugins, e.g.:
– the SoftRobots plugin binary
– the STLIB plugin binary

and them place these plugins in:
– (Linux/MacOS) the folder SOFA/install/plugins/
– (Win) the folder SOFA/install/bin

Then for python, the explanations are given here.

Let me know if this helps

Best wishes,

Hugo

Hey @hugo

Yest it helps a lot, I have tried sofa before more than a year and seeing it now it has improved a lot, big cheers for that.

one more thing I have tried to run one of the python examples and I got this error

[ERROR] [DAGSimulation(Simulation)] extension (py) not handled

the command I ran from a terminal inside the bin folder on linux

./runSofa-21.12.00 ../plugins/SofaPython3/share/SofaPython3/examples/basic-addGUI.py

Hey @dabou

This error simply means that you did not load the SofaPython3 plugin.
To load python scripts, this plugin is needed.

Best wishes,
