Blender-FLIP-Fluids VS gazebo-classic

If all else fails, you may want to consider a premium addon like FLIP Fluids, which in my experience feels more stable than the default fluid sim, though it may be a bit costly. Consider trying the demo.

For troubleshooting conflicts between addons, it can help to test in a fresh Blender environment with default settings and installing/enabling addons one at a time. In case it helps, we have some instructions here for how to backup user-preferences, test in a clean environment, and then restore your original addons and settings: https://github.com/rlguy/Blender-FLIP-Fluids/wiki/Baking-Crash-Troubleshooting#testing-the-flip-fluids-addon-in-a-clean-installation-of-blender

There's a free demo if you would like to try it out: https://github.com/rlguy/Blender-FLIP-Fluids/wiki/FLIP-Fluids-Demo-Addon

The above was built from the code on the GitHub repository, which is under the GNU General Public License. This license allows for redistribution. Unfortunately, I do not have binaries for MacOS or Linux since I only use Windows. Also, note that the above download is for Blender 64-bit (which should be the default on the blender.org downloads page). The GitHub version doesn't have pre-made materials like the paid version on Blender Market. (Note: The demo file on GitHub has watermarks on the simulation. This is the full version of the addon, not to be confused with the demo.)

Make sure that your objects have correct manifold/closed/watertight geometry. See this topic for more info and how to verify geometry: https://github.com/rlguy/Blender-FLIP-Fluids/wiki/Manifold-Meshes

This is also an open source project and we provide a free version with the source code here including build/compile instructions: https://github.com/rlguy/Blender-FLIP-Fluids

Thanks! Mostly by reading through the FLIP Fluid Wiki and watching some tutorials on YouTube.

I used WezTerm for a while and loved it, but then I discovered it had some strange interactions with other programs that use the GPU or OpenGL. In my case, when running WezTerm, the robotics simulation tool Gazebo Classic [0] would only launch properly 1/3 to 1/2 of the time. The rest of the time the simulation appeared to start, but no display ever came up and the program eventually segfalted. I thought this was a Gazebo problem, since it is a bit touchy, but switching to another GPU-accelerated terminal like Kitty or Alacritty solved the problem. I guess the lesson being, if your GL program is misbehaving when launching from WezTerm, try another terminal to see if that doesn't solve the problem.

Then I find this page which presents the migrations required for each new Gazebo verison.

Check out the paper titled "Simulation Studies on Vision based Humanoid Arm Operations" , they have used Gazebo environment ( https://gazebosim.org/ ). However making it online, I don't think so they will.

Hi guys, Have been anyone able to run gazebo on linux/macos arm64 machine? is there any upcomming support for m1 apple chip if not? what is your solution to run a simulation on m1 do you have any advices? I have tried to build gazebo on my own but it seems it won't build whatever I try.

If you dont wanna spend any extra cash, there is the gazebo simulator (http://gazebosim.org/), which supports ROS (https://www.ros.org/).

Simulation is a strong choice too. ARGoS, Actin, Webots, Gazebo and V-Rep are some examples. A simulation will give you the opportunity to use some robots in different environments (with a lot of configurations). Gazebo has a big community and documentation, V-Rep is the more powerful one (and my pick).

I've used Gazebo; it's very well-integrated into the ROS universe. Lots of open-source sample 'worlds' and robot models out there: http://gazebosim.org/. There is also https://cyberbotics.com/, which looks neat, but I haven't tried it.

Gazebo provides a set of build-in meshes that are listed in this source code file. Apply them be adding an tags inside the tag as follows.
