[SOLVED] steady state alarm!

[Zahra]

Is there any feature I can use to inform me as soon as the simulation reaches its steady state?

Best,
Zahra

Dear Zahra,

At my best knowledge, such a component is not existing in SOFA. But there is an explanation. The notion of steady state can vary from a simulation to another: in some cases the velocity of the DOFs is the criterion, but in some other cases, another field might be more meaningful (evolution of volume, error estimation, etc.). Some people wrote their own components or use Python to script this.

Let us know if you need help in developing it.

Cheers,

Hugo

Dear Zahra,

I asked the developers and they noted this example : examples/Components/misc/sleep/test_sleep.scn. The sleep functions should do what you want: it detects when a body stops moving and set the node to sleep.

Hope this helps.
