What is SofaAPAPI-Unity3D ?
The goal of SofaAPAPI-Unity3D is to combine performance and accuracy of
scientific multi-physics simulation with the Virtual Reality world.
More concretely, it is a combination of two software programs working together.
On one hand, from it’s full name SofaAdvancedPhysicsAPI, is a C++ library.
It aims to optimize and wrap the concepts of the SOFA framework in a single API with several levels of integration.
On the other hand, SofaUnity is a Unity3D C# asset integrating this API to propose SOFA as a physics engine complementary to Unity3D PhysX.
But what is SOFA ?
SOFA, meaning Simulation Open Framework Architecture, is an efficient framework dedicated to research, prototyping and development of physics-based simulations using scientific approaches and concepts such as Finite Element Methods, constraint and numerical methods for ODE resolution.
