Hi Brian,
The initial positions of objects in virtual scene need to be aligned with that in the simulation model (and of course, with the desired position in the scene).
You can do this in Simulink by adding a Constant signal to the signal you feed the VR Sink inputs.
In Virtual scene, you can wrap an object with another offset Transform. Example:
DEF Ball_Offset Transform {
translation 0 10 0
children [
DEF Ball Transform {
translation 0 20 0
children Shape {
geometry Sphere {
radius 1
}
}
}
]
}
In order to align objects with VRML sensors attached, you need to attach the sensor to the correct geometry (put sensor as "brother of a geometry"). Example in the vrmaglev demo VRML file maglev.wrl:
====
Transform { translation 0 4.25 0 children [ DEF Grab_Sensor PlaneSensor { enabled TRUE autoOffset TRUE maxPosition 0 1 minPosition 0 0 offset 0 0 0 }
DEF Ball Transform {
translation 0 0 0
children Shape {
geometry Sphere {
radius 0.25
}
}
}
]
}
I hope this helps, if you still have problems, please send me your model + VRML file, I will align them for you...
All the best,
Jan
