Hi Hugo,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have been actually having trouble setting the alarm distance, contact distance and time step. So far, I have managed by trial and error, but as you can imagine this is very time consuming and still gives me a slow simulation with lag as well as occasional contact failure. Each time I make an adjustment to…[Read more]

It was the fixing boxes… It’s solved!

Hi Elie,

It works!!! I kept having problems until I added print(self.cableconstraintvalue.value) as well as print(c) like you recommended.

Thanks so much for your help,

Sara

Hi Elie,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! I have used your exact code and it has solved my translation issue- the finger moves in the plane, it is just not bending. I am sure the implementation is now correct, it is just not working in my scene. I am using mac OSX- do you think it could be a hotkey issue? Even though I am using [cmd +…[Read more]

Hi Elie,

Thanks very much for your help! You’re right, I have forgotten to include that mesh. I am able to move the finger in the plane now after implementing your code, but it will not close or open (bend inwards or outwards). I have had this similar problem when I tried the CableGripper/PneunetGripper SoftRobots tutorials; is it something to…[Read more]

Hi SOFA,

I am trying to debug my code to find out why my gripper finger is not moving. I have simplified it down to just one finger with all the basic components necessary to simulate cable actuation. I am not getting any results, I think I am missing something important or doing something wrong. I’ve attached a file below that contains both…[Read more]

Hi again RowingMK2,

I have used your linked files to create surface and volumetric meshes and loaded them into SOFA. I did not seem to face any problems and they appeared to be fine.

I have included my mesh files in the same link you…[Read more]

Hi RowingMK2,

I was facing this problem last week, and have recently resolved it. I will walk you through step-by-step what I did. I roughly followed the instructions given here:

You must first export your design file in *.brep format. This will depend on the CAD software you are using; for me, I am using SolidWorks, and so I exported my…[Read more]
