    "description": "The `Camera` component in the Sofa.Component.Visual module is responsible for rendering the simulation scene from a specified location and orientation. It inherits from `BaseCamera`, providing basic camera functionality within the SOFA framework. The `manageEvent` method allows the camera to handle various events, making it interactive and adaptable during simulations. This component does not have explicit data fields or links defined in its metadata, suggesting that its primary role is to facilitate visual rendering without additional configuration parameters. Usage guidance would involve integrating this component into a scene graph for proper visualization of simulation results."

    "maths": "The `Camera` component in the Sofa.Component.Visual module is primarily responsible for rendering the simulation scene from a specified location and orientation. It inherits from `BaseCamera`, which provides basic camera functionality within the SOFA framework. The primary purpose of this component is to facilitate visual rendering without involving any explicit mathematical or physical content related to finite element methods (FEM) or continuum mechanics. Therefore, it does not contribute directly to governing equations such as mass matrix M, stiffness matrix K, internal force f_int, residual R, strain measures, stress tensors, hyperelastic potentials, damping models, constraint Jacobians, etc., which are central to the FEM pipeline and variational/Lagrangian mechanics framework.\n\nThe component's role is purely visual and interactive. The `manageEvent` method allows it to handle various events, making it adaptable during simulations. Since this component does not have explicit data fields or links defined in its metadata, it suggests that its primary function is limited to rendering without additional configuration parameters specific to FEM or mechanics.\n\nIn summary, the `Camera` component is not involved in any mathematical or physical computations related to the finite element method or variational mechanics and serves only as a tool for visualizing the simulation results."

It facilitates visual rendering by specifying the location and orientation for viewing the simulation scene. This component does not have explicit data fields or links, indicating that its primary role is to enable visualization without additional configuration parameters.\n\n**Practical Notes**\nThe `Camera` component is purely visual and interactive, handling various events through the `manageEvent` method. It does not involve any mathematical or physical computations related to finite element methods (FEM) or mechanics. Proper integration into a scene graph is necessary for effective visualization of simulation results."
