Yade

Simulation viewer is showing no output despite the simulation running

Asked by Ludwig Vogt

I´m using yade in wsl2 with ubuntu 20.04 and VcXsrv to build GUI apps. Yade is running but my simulation viewer is always showing a black window and not the simulation. I used the 02-gravity-deposition.py script to test if its because of multiple windows but i can see and use the controller of the simulation and also see the plot of the various parameters. When i start the simulation i can see the development of the parameters so the simulation must be running but the 3D output is always showing a black window. Do you know a solution for this Problem or a workaround to get a visual output?

Hello,

>>I´m using yade in wsl2

This is not supported functionality right now. And there are plenty of other questions in this forum already regarding the graphical user interface not working with WSL2.

We recommend you install linux on your computer. IF you cannot do that, then we recommend you use a virtualization of linux. Those are both supported functionalities.

Cheers,

Robert
