Too slow simulation

[edney]

Hello my friends,

I try to simulate a set of 10 epucks, but the simulation seems too slow, maybe a little lag.
How can i improve the simulation ? i try to use threaded rendering but dont solve. Try to use bullet, very fast and dt=10ms but nothing.

Thank you and sorry about my english, i m still learn write correctly.

Hello,

try to find out why the simulation is running that slow. Check the timing at the top of the screen:

• is it the vision sensor handling?
• is it the proximity sensor handling?
• is it the dynamics handling?
• is it the overall rendering (displayed at the top of the main window)?
• is it something else? Remember that script execution includes the calculation time for vision sensor handling, proximity sensor handling, collision checking handling, etc.

I suspect it is the vision sensors. You can either disable them, or reduce their resolution (there are 2 vision sensors on the e-puck). You can also check the Ignore depth info checkbox in the vision sensor properties, that will also accelerate their operation.

Cheers
