Best regards

A few other options:

1. V-REP simulator - http://www.coppeliarobotics.com/

2. Actin Simulation by Energid - http://www.energid.com/software/overview/actin-simulation/

3. Maybe Matlab (Simscape modeling) or LabVIEW

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Max

I am the author of the book ‘’Soft-Material Robotics" (ISBN 978-1680832648).

In chapter 3 of the book, I summarized three methods for modelling kinematics and dynamics of soft bodies for robots.

A simulator that could be useful for you is Voxcad. It used voxels to simulate soft bodies. For each voxel, you may choose material mechanical properties such as modulus.

Existing physics engines may have soft-body mechanics, but I have not used them for that purpose myself.

Check this website which features the developers behind software for soft robotics research: https://sites.google.com/view/softroboticsoftware/home

What about VoxCad, a voxel based approach that allows defining properties of soft volumetric elements. They can be controlled by varying environmental variables like temperature.

This is their website:

Additionally in MATLAB's new package they have a soft robotic simulation suite.
