no view about qt.View() and yade.qt.Controller()

Asked by yang yi

My yade is come from GitLib source, and cmake, make, make-install to my computer. I build a symbol link named "yadeImport".
The system can run very nice, if I use the command in terminal
"~/myYade/install/bin/yade my.py". I can controll the simulation by controller, and see the 3D simuliation process.

But, today, I want run the code by script. the yade.qt.View(), yade.qt.Controller(), just get two black windows. I hope to find the answer from there. And somebody says that the example of "triax-tutorial" could be help me. So I use the code as script-session2.py
The problem is the same. The yade.qt.View() and yade.qt.controller() just the black windows. I have two problems:

(1) How to get 3D view() by runing the script?
(2) If I cannot get the 3D process during simulation, how to save the date of each step of process, and replay after simulation?

Beacause my code is complex, I put the script-session2.py as below, the problem is the same.

I know the answer of the frist question

I run my script in the Pycharm, not in the terminal. If I run the code in the terminal like : 'yade my.py', I can get the controller and View

Hi,

> (2) If I cannot get the 3D process during simulation, how to save the date of each step of process, and replay after simulation?

depend on what "the date" mean, you can e.g. use O.save(...) periodically and then you can O.load the saved state.

cheers
