CoppeliaSim forums

Hi, I am currently modelling a pick and place of a cuboid (using vortex engine), I am currently able to pick it up successfully but i am getting some strange movements in the x and y plane which eventually displaces the cuboid from its grasping position. I am aware that in theory for this not too ha...

Perfect, thanks for your help! Will try the solutions you have outlined.

Hi, Thanks for the quick response. I am quite new to using the xml format. If I use CoppeliaSim's XML format, do I export it in through the URDF ? I have written a similar version using the instructions from (https://www.coppeliarobotics.com/helpFiles/en/xmlFormat.htm) but this doesn't import throug...

Hi, I have tried the methods above which is working quite well so thank you. But I am currently having one issue when I try to set values for the friction values in the vortex engine. When inputting through the URDF file import, it updates within the dialogs all of the values I have stated mass, mom...

Does the sim.setObjectParam function not require 4 input parameters? (https://www.coppeliarobotics.com/helpFiles/en/regularApi/simSetEngineFloatParam.htm) I am trying to pick and place a cube in CoppeliaSim using both Aluminium gripper fingers and an aluminium cube, trying to investigate at which fr...

Thanks that must have been where my problem was stemming from !

Sorry here is a snippet of the code
Is it possible to print the value assigned in the material properties to the primary linear axis for example?

Hi, I am declaring friction values from a Python script using Vortex to an object in a scene , assigning them through the following code I am just wondering how might I print out the values to ensure it is being correctly assigned in the material properties panel as this is not accessible during the...

Thanks for the reply I will look into this!

Hi,

I am just wondering for importing files into CoppeliaSim what is the best format to import? I am currently using object files, but wondering if there is a file format which can maintain material properties from the original CAD file such as mass for example ?

Thanks in advance
