Adding SOFA framework to Microsoft visual studio C++

[younes1010]

I want to integrate SOFA framework libraries to my project in order to be able to perform simulation of deformable objects using physical models that are developped in sofa. How to add SOFA framework to MVSC++ ?

I added those directories to additional include directories in visual studio :

include/Sofa.Core/sofa/core/init.h
include/Sofa.Simulation.Core/sofa/simulation/Simulation.h
and I added those lines to define the headers in the code:
#include <sofa/simulation/Simulation.h>
#include <sofa/core/init.h>

when I try to run this code to initialize and to ensure that the libraries added:

#include <iostream>
#include <sofa/simulation/Simulation.h>
#include <sofa/core/init.h>

int main() {
    sofa::core::init();
    sofa::simulation::Simulation::SPtr simulation = sofa::simulation::getSimulation();
    std::cout << "SOFA Initialized!" << std::endl;
    sofa::core::cleanUp();
    return 0;
}

I get :

Erreur (active)	E1696	impossible d'ouvrir le fichier source "sofa/config.h"	SOFA	C:\Users\USER\SOFA\v23.06.00\include\Sofa.Core\sofa\core\config.h	24	
In addition the sofa in  sofa::core::init(); is underlined by red  and the error says that : 
Erreur (active)	E0276	un nom suivi de '::' doit être un nom de classe ou d'espace de noms	SOFA	C:\Users\USER\Desktop\MSVC SOFA\SOFA\SOFA\SOFA.cpp	9	

are there any way to add SOFA library to MVSC++

Best regards.

I think you need to familiarize with the usual organization of a C++ project with dependencies. Your question does not seem to be related to SOFA itself, but to any dependency. Indeed, adding the #include is not enough. You need to define SOFA as a dependency in your project. You can for example read this page, or familiarize with cmake.
