CoppeliaSim forums

I played a bit with the vortex engine material properties and found that my problem could be fixed by increasing the compliance of the materials :)

Hi Coppelia,
Making the floor thicker helped and it doesn't happen as frequently any more - but it still happens.

It never happens when the hexapod is not colliding with anything else. It almost seems like it cannot handle all of the collisions.

So apparently all I needed to do was to post the question in here :) In other words, I found the answer to the problem my self. If anyone else faces this issue, then try to adjust/reduce Vortex's "Contact tolerance [m]". I changed mine to 1.0000e-10 from 1.0000e-03. Maybe this should be c...

Hi everyone,

As shown in the video below, I have had a problem for some time with a set of collisions leading the model blowing up.
I am using the Vortex Dynamic Engine and CoppeliaSim v. 4.0.0 (rev. 1).



Does anyone know if this is fixable?

Hello again Coppella, I am once again experiencing problems with the distance calculation module. Your fix worked for a while - but now I get the following error message: Error: signal 11: /home/mat/vrep_workers/VREP1/libcoppeliaSim.so(_Z11_segHandleri+0x2b)[0x7f17009bfeab] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lib...

That was fast - thank you very much!

Hi fferri,

Thanks for checking - it also crashes on me with the bullet 2.78.

For the record, I am running:
- Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
- CoppeliaSim Edu V4.0.0. (rev. 1)

No, it does not happen with that scene. But if I make a simple scene with only two primitives and create a distance object for them, then it crashes right away. Like to scene: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17UdkzPTxZJh2NGKcpa0z2A5eFm1gIkqZ/view?usp=sharing Addition: If I add a sphere primitive to ...

Dear CoppeliaSim, First of all thanks for the new and fantastic update to CoppeliaSim! I am, unfortunately, experiencing a problem with the new update whenever I try to use the distance calculation module. After starting the simulation with an active distance object, it instantly crashes with the fo...

Thanks for the reply.
Changing normalBias to 1 for Omnidirectional_light solved the problem for me.
