Run background data, no kinematics

Post by ichronopoulos »

Hi!
How can I take only the data from a simulation and the simulator scene not to be executed, in order to have more speed in process?

Hello,

not sure I understand exactly what you mean. You want to only focus on a particular aspect of the simulation? What type of data are you talking about? Do you want to increase simulation speed?

Cheers

Hi again!
I am running a genetic algorithm, to optimize a robot's controller.
This process takes a lot of time, as it requires a lot of repeated simulations .
I wonder if there is any possibility, to run every simulation, excluding the graphics part, in order for the process to be faster.

Thanks in advance.

Oh you mean in headless mode? Yes, you can start CoppeliaSim with the -h command line argument, to start CoppeliaSim in pseudo headless mode.

Edit: make sure to also read this topic about headless mode.

Cheers
