Ok, it becomes a little bit more clear. Two thoughts: Remember that the more dynamic shapes / force sensors / joints you have in a simulation, the slower the simulation When you group several shapes, then the resulting shape will have its mass and inertia automatically computed from its content. If ...

I still don't understand where you want to use force sensors. For a given link, if composed by a non-static respondable and a static non-respondable shape, there is no need for a force sensor. If you have adjacent respondable shapes, then they will collide and make the whole construction jump around...

Hello, It always depends what kind of simulation you want to set-up. If dynamics is involved, then you should have a functional model (i.e. a dynamic model, based on pure shapes or convex shapes if possible), and you can attach visual shapes to that functional model. The visual shapes should be stat...

By the way, you can also as a quick work-around simply:

• turn on the "Body is respondable" checkbox
• turn off all the "Respondable mask" checkboxes

This has the same effect, but does not reveal the bug ;)

You will have to compile a total of 4 items:

• V-REP
• the dynamics plugin
• the mesh calculation plugin
• the path planning plugin

The reason is: the precompiled V-REP PRO EDU has the above major 3 plugins compiled together with V-REP (not as separate entities).

Cheers

Makes sense!

If you are compiling the dynamics plugin yourself, you can easily correct the bug by commenting one single instruction: in function void CRigidBodyContainerDyn::_addOrUpdateRigidBody(CDummyShape* shape,bool forceStatic) comment out the condition if (_simIsShapeDynamicallyRespondable(shape)) so that ...

I see the point.

We'll see what we can do in future!

Cheers

Hello, Indeed! Thanks a lot for pointing that out! Actually the bug happens only with "non-respondable" shapes: if you move the whole construction above the ground so that it doesn't touch it, then make the "Cuboid0" respondable, then the result is correct. This is because of som...

Hello Nikolaus, You are using dynamics (i.e. the physics engines), so this puts some restrictions on the way how dynamic elements have to be build in the scene hierarchy. This includes that two joints always need a link in-between (i.e. a shape that is non-static). Well, if your spherical joint cons...
