SPH-based solid mechanics in SOFA

[zv88]

Hi
I am working with SOFA and exploring SPH-based approaches.
I found the SofaSphFluid plugin, but it seems focused on fluids.
My question:
Is SOFA capable of modeling solid mechanics using SPH or is SPH limited to fluid simulations?
If not supported natively, are there recommended plugins or examples for SPH-based solid mechanics?
Thanks!

Hi @zv88

The SphFluid plugin is the only (and pretty old) SPH related public work in SOFA. It was only aiming at fluid simulation.
SOFA mostly focuses on solid mechanics (soft/rigid body dynamics) not fluid mechanics. Such topics would deserve a new plugin/implementation. We would be glad to help in case you are up to.

Best wishes.
