Dear Tristan,
there are two sources of troubles here:
- about the "AddVisualShape " stuff: the latest version of the
SolidWorks plugin might not be in-sync with the latest PyChrono that you
download with Anaconda / Conda, even if the develop one, that is made
available on conda only periodically. For example, here on my PC I
bypass Anaconda completely and I build the chrono Python modules from
the C++ solution, with CMAKE, SWIG and C++ compile etc etc., and I set
a PYTHONPATH to my D:\build\chrono\bin\Release. Not easy for people not
into c++, though...
So I am 100% sure it is in-sync with the SW add-in. The latest SW add-in
v.7.03 is compatible with the develop branch of chrono, at least with
the one in chrono' GIThub yesterday, in develop.
(Note, I am in charge of developing the SW add-in, so I update and
rebuild the add-in all times that chrono, hence pychrono, get some
changes in the develop branch)
- about the .NET crash: most likely you are adding something in your SW
model that is not supported in the add-in. In the past I had crashes
when I added the gears constraints and the pulley constraints in SW. I
remember that all the "basic" mate constraints in SW are correctly
converted (parallel, cylindrical, etc.), but not the complex ones like
gears, pulley, cam, etc.
regards
Alessandro Tasora

Dear all,
I am currently trying to utilize a Solidworks assembly in PyChrono for
my project. When I use the plugin in Solidworks I am met with a
Microsoft .NET Framework error, which is included below. I believe
this is due to the specific assembly having constraints/mates that
cannot be converted by the plugin. I am unsure which constraints/mates
are causing this error, so my plan is to simplify the assembly and
keep trying to convert it. I will add on the levels of complexity
until I reach the specific one causing the error.
In the meantime, I made another extremely simple assembly with a
single mate in which rotation is supposed to take place. The plugin
converted the assembly into a python file successfully, however it
throws an error when it runs. The error is included below as well. For
some reason, it cannot find the function .AddVisualShape for the
ChBodyAuxRef body_1, even though it should be included.
