Hey Radu, Ofcourse, I know how hard people are trying to make it better at every step. I am never denying that. I really like what this project has achieved. (And as an anthropology enthusiast, it makes me feel amazed on how people can come together and build great things that too for free for use)
I am learning programming and the physics behind FE/MBD, if I get used to this project, I would love to contribute wherever I can! As for my system I am on Manjaro Linux (arch based) and python version is 3.10. I am trying to build pychrono from sources. As I mentioned in another comment, I had previously tried conda version, but it had some issues with irrlicht. I am turning on only two modules: irrlicht and postprocessing. I don't even know which ones I should turn on for the simulation I want to work on. (it basically involves cable, beams and a few rigid bodies. There are contacts in place as well) Regards DM On Thursday, 11 August 2022 at 17:41:28 UTC+5:30 Radu Serban wrote: > Sorry to hear that.
