Add plugin error

[Yangon0620]

Hi I download the pre-built sofa of 23.12. The following error occurred when I was using the WireRestShape component， which is belonged to BeammAdapter. In this script, I add this component by the root_node.addObject() function. the code are as follows:

topoLines_guide.addObject("RequiredPlugin", name="ImportBeamAdapt", pluginName="BeamAdapter") 
topoLines_guide.addObject(
    "WireRestShape",
    name="InstrRestShape",
    straightLength=length_body,
    length=length_body + length_tip,
    numEdges=nume_nodes_viz,
    youngModulus=young_modulus_body,
    spireDiameter=250.0,
    numEdgesCollis=[self.num_elem_body, self.num_elem_tip],
    printLog=True,
    template="Rigid3d",
    spireHeight=0.0,
    radius=self.outer_diam_qu / 2.0,
    radiusExtremity=self.outer_diam_qu / 2.0,
    densityOfBeams=[self.num_elem_body, self.num_elem_tip],
    youngModulusExtremity=young_modulus_tip,
)

And the error log are as follows:

I think maybe its the version of BeamAdapter doesnnt match. So I try to change this plugin to 22.06 version. But when I manage the plugin in sofa, and try to add the libBeamAdapter.so oof 22.06, the error occurred as follows:

Plugin loading failed (/home/yangyang/conda_env/SOFA_v23.12.01_Linux/plugins/BeamAdapter_v22.06_for-SOFA-v22.06_Linux/lib/libBeamAdapter.so): libSofa.Component.Controller.so.22.06.00: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

1. I want to know which version of BeamAdapter is in pre-build 23.12 sofa framework
2. Why when I try to change the version in sofa, the error occurred
3. I download the 22.06 version BeamAdapter plugin, how to change the add-plugin path when using the addObject() function

These are my questions. Looking for your help, Thanks!

To answer your questions:

1. The version shipped with the SOFA v23.12 is the v23.12 version of course. SOFA core have evolved a lot since the v22.06 version so did the plugins to follow those changes and improve.
2. In your question you didn't change SOFA's version but only BeamAdapter's one. You used the binaries BeamAdapter_v22.06_for-SOFA-v22.06_Linux. If you tried to open it with SOFA v23.12 it is not surprising that it outputs errors, those two versions are not compatible : the naming is explicit !
3. "how to change the add-plugin path when using the addObject() function" -> I am sorry but I don't understand this question.

As I told you, SOFA has evolved since 22.06, and it is for the best. In your case, it seems like the WireRestShape component has been refactored and parts of it modularized to allow to define more complex geometry and mechanical properties. You need to define the material in a set of specific object. See example https://github.com/sofa-framework/BeamAdapter/blob/master/examples/3instruments_collis.scn lines 41-44. Here the wire is constituted of two parts one straight and one with a spiral shape. This new architecture allow you to define different material properties and shapes per parts.
