Seminar “SOFA: an open-source solution for collaborations, prototyping and innovation in simulation”

Department of Mechanical Engineering, Politecnico di Milano Via Giuseppe La Masa, 1, Milano

Lecturer.  Dr. Hugo TALBOT, PhD Abstract. As in many engineering sectors, numerical simulation has become invaluable, namely for medical education, therapy planning, and implant design. However, simulation softwares remain expensive and require a high level of expertise to be used correctly and effectively. SOFA (Software Open Framework Architecture) is an open-source framework primarily targeted at real-time simulation, with an emphasis on medical simulation. This innovative and collaborative tool is developed by a worldwide community of experts in physics simulations and gathers…
