Detailed Description

an implementation that use the physics engine ODE to implement the Simulator interface of RWSim. All information into the simulator is derived through RWSim classes.

Supported objects types include Rigid, Kinematic and fixed Supported device types include Rigid and Kinematic

The simulation step looks like this

1 updateControllers() 2 updateDevices() // sets the target velocity of devices 3 performContactDetection() 4 performConstraintSolving() 5 updateSensorStates() 6 updateDeviceStates() 7 updateBodyStates()

The ODE physics engine support several engine specific properties. These can be tweaked to obtain higher performance or robustness. ODE specific options:

Only used when RobWork contact generation is used (its the default). MaxSepDistance - float - All triangles within a distance MaxSepDistance is used in the contact generation.

object specific:

SoftLayer - float -

example:

* <Property name="StepMethod">WorldStep</Property>
* <Property name="WorldCFM" type="float">0.000001</Property>
* <Property name="WorldERP" type="float">0.2</Property>
* <Property name="MaxIterations" type="int">100</Property>
* <Property name="ContactSurfaceLayer" type="float">0.001</Property>
*
* <Property name="MaxSepDistance" type="float">0.01</Property>
* <Property name="MaxCorrectingVelocity" type="float">0.1</Property>
