    "description": "The `InfoComponent` in the SOFA framework is designed to retain information and error messages within the scene graph. Despite its seemingly passive role—it does not perform any active computations or operations—this component serves as an essential tool for managing and storing information within simulations.\n\n### Role and Purpose:\n- **Purpose**: The primary purpose of `InfoComponent` is to act as a placeholder for retaining info/error messages in the scene graph. It facilitates the storage of metadata, warnings, errors, or any other relevant information that needs to be retained throughout the simulation process.\n- **Role**: By inheriting from `BaseObject`, it integrates seamlessly into SOFA's object model and can be easily incorporated within a scene graph structure without interfering with other components' operations. This makes it useful for logging, debugging, and maintaining records of various aspects of simulations.\n\n### Interactions with Other Components:\n- **API**: The component does not have any specific data fields or methods defined in its metadata. Therefore, its interactions are primarily through the inheritance from `BaseObject`, which allows it to be part of the scene graph but does not require direct interaction with other components for functionality.\n\n### Practical Usage Guidance and Data Fields:\n- **Usage**: Users can instantiate this component within their SOFA scenes to store any type of information or error messages. Since it inherits from `BaseObject`, it follows the standard object model conventions, making integration straightforward.\n- **Data Fields**: There are no specific data fields defined for `InfoComponent`. The primary function is based on its existence in the scene graph rather than specific attributes."
