A `deformable body`_ is a single body that can be simulated by PhysX. Unlike rigid bodies, deformable bodies
support relative motion of the nodes in the mesh. Consequently, they can be used to simulate deformations
under applied forces.
PhysX soft body simulation employs Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to simulate the deformations of the mesh.
It uses two tetrahedral meshes to represent the deformable body:
1. **Simulation mesh**: This mesh is used for the simulation and is the one that is deformed by the solver.
2. **Collision mesh**: This mesh only needs to match the surface of the simulation mesh and is used for
collision detection.
For most applications, we assume that the above two meshes are computed from the "render mesh" of the deformable
body. The render mesh is the mesh that is visible in the scene and is used for rendering purposes. It is composed
of triangles and is the one that is used to compute the above meshes based on PhysX cookings.
The schema comprises of attributes that belong to the `PhysxDeformableBodyAPI`_. schemas containing the PhysX
parameters for the deformable body.
.. caution::
The deformable body schema is still under development by the Omniverse team. The current implementation
works with the PhysX schemas shipped with Isaac Sim 4.0.0 onwards. It may change in future releases.
.. note::
This function is decorated with :func:`apply_nested` that sets the properties to all the prims
(that have the schema applied on them) under the input prim path.

Args:
prim_path: The prim path to the deformable body.
cfg: The configuration for the deformable body.
stage: The stage where to find the prim. Defaults to None, in which case the
current stage is used.
Returns:
True if the properties were successfully set, False otherwise.
