Running multiple instances of V-Rep

[rouhollah]

Hi,

We are starting the simulation from a C++ program using the remote API. We tried to run multiple instances of V-Rep with different port numbers and connect to each instance using its corresponding port number. However, we were not successful in that. Can multiple instances of V-Rep work at the same time? Can we connect to the instances using remote API?

Regards

Hello,

yes, you can do that. But be careful when starting several instances of V-REP, since by default all instances will try to open a remote API port on 19997 (all instances will read the file remoteApiConnections.txt)

Thank you.

We implemented it and it is working fine. We changed the port number everytime we start an instance of V-Rep. Now we can run multiple simulations at the same time :)
