[SOLVED] Generating .exe file out of a scene

[shiva]

Hello,

I have created the cloth simulation of a circular disc. Now I would like to generate an executable file(eg: .exe). Can you please help me if there ways to generate an executable file from Sofa or Qt

Cheers

Hey @avihs98

Congratulations for your cloth simulation.
Did you write it as an XML scene file? a Python file? a C++ file?

Hi @Hugo

I wrote in XML scene file

[Hugo]

Several solutions then:
– you can open it with runSofa.exe
– or you can create a batch file launching directly runSofa path/to/your/file.xml
– or you can change the default scene of runSofa
– or modify the Main.cpp (C++) of runSofa so that it opens directly your xml file.

No sir,

I am asking, just like runSofa.exe can we create a .exe for a xml scene like scene.exe, such that i can directly launch the scene.exe .

Hey @avihs98

You can simply modify in the source code of runSofa, line 408 (located in applications/projects/runSofa/Main.cpp):
the file path with your own file path. And then recompile. runSofa will afterwards automatically run your scene file by default.

Best,

No Sir,

My doubt is that, just like how you have created a option toDownload in your page, is there a way i can create a file.

I am trying to do the cloth simulation as a mini project in my college, so it would be easy for me if i could get the file as in the Download icon is pressed.

Hi @shiva,

There is no “make an exe” button in the runSofa gui. This would be a nice addendum, not to hard to do, but right now there is none.

To achieve what you want to do you can:
– put the content of the .xml or a .scn or a .py as a big string in a .cpp file and use this string as the source of a scene loader. This would allows to load the scene without extra file in the filesystem.
– to visualize the scene, implement a minimalistic application with glut/freeglut/whatever. A good starting, yet not up-to-date, is the example in application/projects/glutOnePick

Regards,
Damien
