Saving State of a Running Simulation

[ahundt]

Is it possible to save scene state for a running simulation? Typically when I hit "stop" all data from the run is removed.

I run a simulation that computes a transform between objects in the scene that I don't know in advance then sets the position of the objects correctly in the simulation. I want to save that information for subsequent runs of the simulation. I could work around the system by writing it out to a file then reading and setting it when the simulation is stopped, but it would be nice if I could simply save it using V-REP's built in facilities.

For more detail, I have a simulation where a physical robot mirrors the simulation, then computes a hand eye calibration. This means it finds the transform between the tip of my robot and an object attached to the tip that I can see with a vision sensor. After the motion sequence of the simulation is done the algorithm runs then sets the transform within the running simulation.

Thanks!

Hello,

yes, by default, all newly added objects are removed, and most settings (such as positions/orientations, etc.) are reset at simulation end. You can however change that behaviour in the simulation settings dialog. Uncheck Reset scene to initial state and Remove new objects.

Cheers
