error: Plugin not found: "SofaPython3"

[jchoi2868]

I tried to load runSofa.exe(21.10) with Plugin "SofaPython3" in windows 10.

But, it failed as figure.

How do I install and bind SofaPython3?

[hugtalbot]

The most straightforward way to do would be to open Edit > PluginManager, and from there Add the SofaPython3.dll which should be in /SOFA_v21.12.00_Win64/plugins/SofaPython3/bin/

Let me know if this helps. @fredroy do not hesitate to complete my suggestion

[fredroy]

@hugtalbot well it depends how it was installed actually
@jchoi2868 Did you install SOFA (through the binaries on https://www.sofa-framework.org/download ? or did you compile it ?
I guess it is the latter as I see the Release directory but not sure.

[hugtalbot]

Yep @fredroy indeed, I thought it was the binary version but you seem to be right: it is a compiled version of SOFA

It is a compiled version of SOFA. I tried your solution, but unfortunately failed it.

[hugtalbot]

you closed it @jchoi2868 was this on purpose?
did you successfully got SofaPython3 compiling, loading and working with SOFA?

I have similar error:
OS: Windows 10 | x64 |
Sofa: From official site - build (zip file - not exe)

I tried to do the following
