Again, only CUDA-capable graphics cards will run this properly.

Currently, SOFA contains:

* Deformable models: mass-springs, linear and co-rotational FEM
* Rigid models: articulated bodies based on penalities or reduced coordinates
* Fluid models: SPH, Eulerian (preliminary)
* Collision models: spheres, triangular meshes, distance fields (preliminary); with AABB-tree or octree bounding volume hierarchies
* Collision detection methods: proximity, continuous (preliminary)
* Collision response methods: (implicit) penalities, LCP-based constraints
* Mechanical integration schemes: Euler explicit, RK2, RK4, static, implicit euler using PCG (Projected Conjugate Gradient)
* About 250.000 lines of C++ code
* Contributions from 20 developers.

sofaCUDA.exe doesn't work. Man, I hate Microsoft/Vista.
The other exe works. It REALLY lags/doesn't even show me the fluids but hey - better than nothing, right?

Have you read the big red text? Don't just blame Vista before knowing

Vista has CUDA drivers, I have vista, can run the official CUDA demos, but this won't run.
So we either blame the creators, or vista xD

Do you people really even know what reading is?

EDIT: It's not working for me. A command prompt window just comes up with the file's directory in the name and doesn't do anything.

Stop complaining about Vista. If you don't let it get a new operating system.

Also.. Downloading now



Edit:
Doesn't work.. Well, SoftCUDA.exe doesn't and I already have cuda installed. Omg phail :P

ORLY?!
That's what I'm talking about! And, yes: My GeForce 8800 GTX is CUDA capable!

When get windows I'll try running these even though they probably wont work cause I have a card in the Radeon series... but you never know till you try. :p
