How to make ellipsoid cylinder in the simulator?

Post by zhy149 »

Hello,

I want to make some ellipsoid cylinders in the simulator where everything is the same as cylinder except that x and y of the bottom surface can be different.
Can anyone give me some hints on this?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

in CoppeliaSim V4.5 for instance: [Menu bar --> Add --> Primitive shape --> Cylinder...]
Then uncheck Dynamic and respondable. Enter the dimensions then click OK.

Your created shape is now not dynamically simulated. But you can change this in the shape dynamics dialog. Make sure to recompute the inertia or the object by selecting it, then [Menu bar --> Edit --> Shape mass and inertia --> Compute from uniform density...]

Cheers
